Affordable errors and omissions insurance in Hamilton
In Hamilton, Ontario there are many professionals working across key industries like manufacturing, agribusiness, life sciences, IT, transportation, finance and others. With EasyCover by Acera Insurance, we’re helping to ensure these professionals are protected with specialized professional liability coverage.
While many Hamilton businesses likely have standard commercial general liability insurance, these policies typically don’t cover client claims related to the services and advice you specialize in.
