Errors and Omissions Insurance in New Brunswick

FCNB describes errors and omissions insurance as protection for service providers against claims arising from mistakes they may have made. The exact professional activities, retroactive date, exclusions and claim-reporting rules must be checked in the policy.

Coverage depends on operations. Business size, contracts, workers, vehicles, locations and professional activities can change both legal obligations and insurance needs.

Describe the service accurately

Professional-liability underwriting starts with what the business actually advises, designs, manages or delivers. A broad business description can miss a service that needs to be declared.

Claims-made timing can matter

Many professional-liability policies use claims-made structures. Check the reporting period, retroactive date and continuity requirements rather than assuming a current policy covers every historic service.

Professional and general liability are complements, not substitutes

A client injury at the office and a financial loss caused by alleged professional advice are different exposures. A business may need both liability layers depending on its operations.
