The importance of E&O insurance for Winnipeg consultants

EasyCover’s professional liability insurance covers legal expenses if you’re sued for causing financial loss to a client as a result of your professional service or advice. This includes defence costs, judgement awards and settlements.  

Our policies are retroactive, which is a huge benefit for you. Retroactive means that you’re covered for claims made during the policy period arising from actions prior to the purchase of this policy. Keep in mind that you will need to report any known circumstances that may result in a claim from previous work and new situations that arise!  

We offer three limits of coverage: 

$1,000,000 

$2,000,000 

$5,000,000 

This is the maximum amount that you would receive for all claims incurred in the 12-month policy period, regardless of the number of claims made.  

Consultants in Winnipeg should consider the following factors when deciding how much professional liability insurance they need: 

Contractual obligations (most contracts require $1,000,000 or $2,000,000 of professional liability coverage for consultants in Winnipeg). 

Your individual business risks. 

Industry trends for lawsuits (how frequent they are and their average cost). 

The value of the contracts (or annual revenue). 

How many clients/contracts you have.  

Ultimately, the amount of protection you need will depend on your individual business.

Other commercial coverages for professional consultants in Winnipeg

EasyCover by Acera Insurance also offers commercial general liability insurance, cyber liability insurance and directors and officers insurance in addition to professional liability insurance. Consultants in Winnipeg have the option of adding these coverages to their policy. Below are more details about these optional coverages.  

Commercial General Liability Insurance

Commonly known as CGL, this coverage is designed to protect Winnipeg consultants if a third party is injured or has their property damaged due to your company’s negligence. This applies to your own premises, at a worksite or at a client’s place. For example, a common claim is someone slipping and falling.  

Keep in mind that this does not cover damage to your company’s property or an injury to your own employees.  

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance 

This coverage protects the directors and officers if they’re held personally responsible for breaching your duties related to running the business. It protects your personal assets if there is a civil claim or investigation of your actions as a director or officer, up to your policy limit. This includes coverage for legal expenses.  

Cyber Liability Insurance 

Cyber liability protection helps cover costs if your business is the victim of a cyber-attack or data breach. This includes costs such as ransom payments, regulatory fines, legal expenses, and other costs associated with recovery up to the policy limit.
