How to save money on your policy
- Maintain detailed documentation of all client communications and recommendations — it's your best defense in an E&O claim
- Tail coverage (extended reporting period) is critical if you retire or change careers — claims can be filed years after the work was done
- Prior acts coverage fills the gap if you're switching carriers — confirm your new policy covers work done under your old policy
- Review your coverage limit against your largest individual client contract — that's your single-claim exposure
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Assuming general liability covers a professional mistake
- Not securing a retroactive date for past work
- Letting coverage lapse, which can void prior-acts protection
