Insurance for Businesses
Shield Your Business from Costly Professional Mistakes
In New York City’s competitive and fast-paced business environment, even the most experienced professionals can make mistakes. Whether you’re a consultant, contractor, lawyer, or IT professional, one error in judgment or oversight could lead to a costly lawsuit. Protecting your business with Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance is essential. At Syed Insurance Agency, we provide tailored E&O insurance solutions to safeguard your company from the financial fallout of professional errors and negligence claims.
What Is Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance?
Errors & Omissions Insurance—also known as Professional Liability Insurance—covers claims made by clients for inadequate work, mistakes, or negligence in the services your business provides. If a client believes your services resulted in financial loss, they may file a lawsuit. E&O insurance helps cover legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments that could otherwise strain your business’s finances.
Why Is E&O Insurance Important?
If your business provides any professional services or advice, you’re at risk of facing claims of negligence, whether valid or not. In a litigious city like New York, where clients expect high-quality services, the smallest oversight can lead to expensive legal battles. Without E&O Insurance, your company may have to bear the full financial burden of defending against these claims, which can include attorney fees, settlements, and even compensation for damages.

How Much Does Errors and Omissions Insurance Cost?
The cost of an errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policy depends on several key factors that insurers evaluate:
Industry Type: Different industries carry different levels of risk for E&O claims. Businesses in higher-risk industries may face higher premiums due to the greater likelihood of professional errors or disputes.
Location: Where your business operates can influence insurance costs. Areas with higher rates of legal action often come with higher premiums.
Services Offered: The nature of services provided plays a big role. More specialized or complex services can mean higher premiums due to increased professional liability exposure.
Claims History: If a business has a history of E&O claims, it may see increased premiums, as insurers consider it a higher risk.
Coverage Limits: Higher coverage limits generally result in higher premiums, as they increase the insurer’s potential liability.
Deductible Amount: A higher deductible can reduce premiums, though it also means the business will cover more initial costs in a claim
