Translator Professional Liability Insurance Coverage
Interpreter / Translator Professional Liability Insurance (also known as Translation Services Errors & Omissions Insurance, or Interpreter E&O) protects all types of professional interpreters if a client alleges that you were professionally negligent or failed to perform professional duties, or in the case of the failure of your work to perform as promised in your contract.
Language Service E&O Insurance is available for a wide variety of professional consultants, including:
- Freelance Translators and Interpreters
- Independent Contractor Translators and Interpreters
- Translation Agencies
- Language Service Companies
Translation Services Professional Liability Insurance Protects Your Business
The high cost of a legal defense could put your translation firm out of business. Your company's survival and your personal financial security depend upon protecting yourself against the impact of a lawsuit.
Almost any firm or individual that improperly performs services can cause a client to suffer an economic loss - and mounting a defense is expensive. The impact of even a baseless claim can be devastating. Would your company have the resources and expertise to defend against such a claim?

As a successful interpreter, you are a trusted professional. Your clients count upon you for accurate and complete translations for business and personal reasons. An Errors & Omissions Policy helps protect the valued relationships you have developed by protecting both your client and your own financial security.
Mistakes Happen. Even the most skilled professionals are likely to make an error at some point. From human oversights to inadvertent miscalculations, many incidents can result in a lawsuit. This coverage protects translators against liability for any errors and omissions they may create during the process of translation.
You Can't Be All Places At Once. As your translating services firm becomes more successful, you may not be able to personally handle every aspect of each translating job. Errors & Omissions coverage insures not only your mistakes, but also the mistakes of the employees and independent contractors you hire. Request a Quote
What Is Covered by Translator Services Errors and Omissions Insurance?
Translator Professional Liability Insurance includes legal defense costs - no matter how baseless the allegations. It will pay for any resulting judgments against you, including court costs, up to the coverage limits on your policy.
Some of your clients may require that you and your subcontractors carry Errors & Omissions insurance. The right kind of E&O policy can protect both the language services agency and subcontractors from claims of a perceived error or omission, even if the problem occurs months after the initial consultation.

Doesn't My General Liability Insurance Provide the Same Protection?
Errors and Omissions insurance coverage is not provided by a
Commercial General Liability policy. Commercial General Liability does NOT provide coverage for errors, contract performance disputes or any other Professional Liability issues. Translators and translation companies who have General Liability without Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) coverage are taking a serious risk. It's like a doctor practicing medicine without Malpractice Insurance.
