Errors and omissions insurance for engineers in Toronto

Whether you’re a Toronto-based engineering consultant hired for a small project or a large firm coordinating a multi-billion dollar design-build in the GTA, engineering projects have become increasingly complex. If a client believes you’ve made a mistake or omitted vital information, you could be sued and face irreparable damage to your finances, career and reputation as an engineer.

EasyCover Canada offers affordable Toronto professional liability insurance for engineers (also known as errors and omissions Insurance). You or your firm may already have commercial general liability Insurance in place. Unfortunately, CGL Insurance policies typically don’t cover damages resulting from professional services or advice. However, with EasyCover’s affordable professional liability insurance for Torontonians, you’ll be protected should you be sued by a client who believes your professional engineering services or advice may have cost them financially.

The importance of E&O insurance for Toronto engineers

Professional liability insurance provides coverage for Toronto engineers if a third party sues them for financial loss resulting from professional services or advice. The policy includes legal defense costs, settlement payments, and court-awarded damages.

The amount of professional liability insurance engineers should carry will depend on their individual circumstances. When selecting your coverage levels, you should consider the following:

The likelihood of a lawsuit 

The expected costs of a lawsuit 

Contract requirements (generally $1 million or $2 million) 

Business risks 

Number of and size of clients and value of contracts 

At EasyCover, we provide three levels of professional liability insurance protection: 

$1 million 

$2 million 

$5 million  

It is important to remember that this amount applies to the total number of claims you have during a policy period (typically 12 months). If you’re accused of an error by two different clients, that would be two separate claims, and both would count towards your coverage amount. 

If you want additional protection, we also offer optional commercial general liability, cyber and privacy liability, and director’s and officer’s liability insurance coverage.
