Printing / Publishing Services Professional Liability Insurance Protects Your Business
The high cost of a legal defense could put your printing, publishing or broadcasting 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 printer, publisher, journalist or broadcaster, you are a trusted professional. An Errors & Omissions Policy insures the professional in the event he or she commits an "error" or an "omission" during the course of his or her work. The following scenarios can pose a real danger to your wallet:
- Making a mistake with scheduling
- Clients who decide they are unhappy with the work and sue to recover damages
- Product lost through shipping
- Product released to incorrect party
- Infringement of copyright, plagiarism or piracy
An Errors and Omissions policy does not erase a mistake, but it can help soothe the anger and disbelief of a customer. It 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 print and broadcast professionals against liability for any errors and omissions they may create during the process of developing or delivering their product.
It can also protect you against errors or omissions over which you have no control. A shipping snafu, or the loss of product due to situations beyond your control.
You Can't Be All Places At Once. As your printing services firm becomes more successful, you may not be able to personally handle every aspect of each 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 Printing Services Errors and Omissions Insurance?
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.
Clients may require that you and your subcontractors carry Errors & Omissions insurance. The right kind of E&O policy can protect both the printer or broadcaster and subcontractors from claims of a perceived error or omission, even if the problem occurs months after the initial job.

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. Printing, publishing and broadcast service providers 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.
