Protecting Your Expertise: Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance in Texas
In Texas, professionals like you put your knowledge and experience to work every day. Clients trust you to guide them, care for them, or help them make smart decisions. But even when you’re careful, mistakes can happen. If a client suffers a financial loss and believes your advice or service was to blame, you could be facing a lawsuit. That’s where Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance) comes in. At Rollo Insurance, we understand what it takes to build your reputation, and we’re here to help protect it.
What is Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance?
Professional Liability insurance helps cover claims made against you because of your work. If someone says you were negligent, made a mistake, or left something out, this type of insurance can protect you. It’s especially important when your service or advice is the core of your business. While general liability insurance covers physical accidents like slips and falls, E&O is there for claims tied to the work you do and the knowledge you provide.

What Does Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance Cover?
This kind of insurance focuses on claims tied to your services. It typically includes:
Legal Defense Costs
Even if the claim has no merit, legal fees can add up quickly. E&O helps pay for lawyers, court fees, and other expenses related to defending yourself.
Settlements and Judgments
If the court finds you responsible for a professional mistake, E&O can cover what you owe up to your policy’s limit.
Compensation for Financial Loss
When a client suffers financially because of something you did (or didn’t do) E&O helps cover that loss.
Claims of Negligence
If you’re accused of not using reasonable care in your professional role.
Claims of Errors or Omissions
If there was a mistake in your work or you failed to include important information.
Claims of Misrepresentation
If a client says they relied on advice or information that turned out to be misleading.
Who Needs Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance?
If your work involves giving advice, designing solutions, creating plans, or providing specialized services, you probably need E&O insurance. It’s especially important when your expertise is what people are hiring you for.
Consultants
Whether you advise businesses on strategy, tech, marketing, or operations, your guidance can directly affect a client’s bottom line. If your advice leads to a loss, E&O can help protect you.
Nurse Practitioners
You diagnose, treat, and prescribe. Malpractice insurance protects you if something goes wrong in treatment, medication, or care decisions.
Small Businesses
Even smaller shops like web designers, tutors, or social media consultants can face claims if a mistake causes financial harm. E&O helps cover those risks.
Veterinarians
When you diagnose or treat animals, things don’t always go as planned. Malpractice insurance helps if an animal is harmed because of a mistake or misdiagnosis.
Lawyers
You give legal advice and handle important cases. If a client claims you missed a deadline or gave poor advice, malpractice insurance can help cover legal fallout.
Accountants
Whether it’s tax advice or financial planning, your clients rely on accuracy. E&O protects you if an error leads to financial loss.
Life Coaches
If a client says your guidance caused emotional or financial harm, E&O is there to help with defense and possible claims.
Social Workers
You support people through complex situations. E&O helps if you’re accused of giving improper advice, breaching confidentiality, or mishandling a case.
Pharmacists
If the wrong medication or dosage is dispensed, or faulty advice causes harm, malpractice coverage can step in to help.
Educators
Private educators, tutors, or consultants can be held responsible for academic advice or teaching methods that cause harm. E&O helps manage those risks.
Physical Therapists
If an exercise or treatment plan leads to further injury or delayed recovery, malpractice insurance can help cover those claims.
Engineers
Design and project planning involve high responsibility. E&O protects you from claims tied to design flaws, calculation mistakes, or project setbacks.
Architects
You design spaces where people live and work. If there’s a financial loss due to a design error or missed code, E&O helps protect you.
Counselors
When clients trust you with their mental health, your advice matters. Malpractice insurance protects you if you’re accused of improper care or confidentiality breaches.
Contractors (General Contractors)
Beyond the physical work, if you provide design-build, project oversight, or consulting services, you may need E&O to cover professional advice that causes financial harm.
Dental Hygienists
Mistakes during cleanings or treatment can lead to injury. Malpractice insurance helps if you’re held responsible.
Estheticians
From facials to skincare treatments, if a client experiences an allergic reaction, infection, or injury, E&O can help protect your business.
Massage Therapists
If a client is injured during a session or says you didn’t take proper health precautions, E&O helps with legal costs and claims.

Key Factors Affecting E&O Premium Amounts
A few main things affect the cost of E&O insurance:
- Your Job or Industry: Some professions carry more risk than others.
- Coverage Limits: More coverage generally means a higher premium.
- Deductible: Choosing a higher deductible can reduce your premium but increases what you pay out of pocket.
- Claims History: If you’ve had claims before, your rate might go up.
- Business Size: Larger businesses with more employees usually pay more.
- Types of Services Offered: The more complex or high-risk the services, the more it may cost to insure.
- Risk Management Practices: Good procedures can lower your risk and possibly your premium.
