Understanding E&O for digital media specialists
What does professional liability insurance cover for digital media specialists in Winnipeg?
Professional liability insurance can cover your legal expenses if you’re sued for causing financial loss as a result of your service or advice. This includes defence costs, judgement awards and settlements.
Our coverage is also retroactive. This means that you’re covered for all your work – including claims made during the policy period for the projects you did before you were our client – as long as you have a policy with us. Just remember you need to disclose any circumstances that may result in a claim!
For example, let’s say you designed a new logo for a client. A few months later, they were sued for copyright infringement – the logo they chose is very similar to another company’s logo. Your client then sued you to recoup their costs for the logo and the lawsuit. Professional liability insurance could help you cover your legal expenses in this situation.
How much professional liability insurance do digital media consultants in Winnipeg require?
We offer three optional limits of professional liability insurance for digital media consultants in Winnipeg:

Optional commercial coverages for digital media specialists in Winnipeg
Besides offering professional liability insurance, EasyCover can also provide a few additional coverages for digital media freelancers in Winnipeg.
Commercial General Liability Insurance
This coverage is standard for many businesses. It helps cover your expenses if a third party is injured or has their property damaged by you or an employee due to negligent acts. A common example is someone slipping on the walkway into your premises and injuring themselves.
Note: This coverage does not protect your employees or your company’s property.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
This coverage helps protect your personal assets if you’re sued personally for breaching your responsibilities as a director or officer of an organization. It helps cover your legal expenses but does not cover any criminal acts.
Cyber Liability Insurance
This covers recovery costs after a cyber-attack or data breach. This can include legal defence costs, regulatory fines, public relations repair and more, up to your policy limit. As cyber-attacks are on the rise and can target any type of business, we recommend all customers carry this affordable protection.
