Professional liability insurance protects Winnipeg’s forensic experts
If you’re an expert witness or forensic expert in Winnipeg, professional liability insurance is important coverage to have. If you are sued for causing financial loss because of your service or advice, this will help cover your legal expenses. This includes defence costs, judgement awards and settlements.
For example, let’s say you provide an evidence report for legal proceedings. You may be accused of an error and sued – professional liability insurance can help.
With EasyCover, we offer three optional limits of protection:
- $1,000,000
- $2,000,000
- $5,000,000
When it comes to choosing the amount of coverage you need, consider the number of clients you have, the value of each individual contract, your annual revenue and the likelihood and expected cost of a lawsuit.
Our professional liability insurance is also retroactive. While you need to disclose any previous circumstance that could result in a claim, you’ll be covered for claims made during the policy term arising from your previous work. This is a huge benefit to you, especially as legal proceedings can take a long time.

You contracted a part of the investigative work to a third party but they failed to do the testing properly and the evidence is inadmissible in court. The party who hired you as a forensic expert decides to hold you liable for negligence causing them financial loss.
Mistake

Optional protection for forensic experts in Winnipeg
We also offer the following insurance to Winnipeg’s forensic experts: commercial general liability, cyber liability and directors and officers liability.
Commercial General Liability Insurance
If a third party is injured or has their property damaged due to your negligent acts (or that of an employee) this can help cover the costs. A common example is someone visiting your workplace and slipping and falling, injuring themselves.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
If you are held personally responsible for breaching your duties as a director or officer, this coverage helps protect your personal assets and covers legal expenses. However, it will not cover any criminal acts.
Cyber Liability Insurance
This coverage is designed to help reduce the financial impact of a cyber-attack or data breach. This includes legal expenses, regulatory fines, public relations, and other costs up to your policy limits. As you may deal with sensitive information, this is important insurance for forensic experts in Winnipeg to carry.
