Skilled Trades & Services

You do the work nobody else can. Protect it.

A workmanship claim after a project closes out. A repair that didn’t hold. An inspection you signed off on. You often work alone, without corporate insurance behind you — and when something goes wrong, the liability is personal.

Important: Professional liability covers financial losses from your professional work — it does not cover bodily injury or property damage. Those require a separate general liability policy.

Materials and equipment in your care

The job was done. Then your client sent a bill.

A contractor’s spec calls for the wrong materials, and the client pays twice to redo the job. A general contractor falls behind schedule on a commercial build, and the building owner alleges thousands in lost lease revenue. A roofer specs the wrong materials for the climate, and the client demands a full replacement before the first year is up. Construction professionals face poor workmanship and specification allegations months or years after the project is completed—long after you’ve moved on to the next job.

Workmanship questioned after completion — allegations can arrive long after sign-off, and the cost of defending your work adds up fast whether the claim has merit or not.

GC and developer bid lists require it — you won’t get on a commercial project without proof of professional liability.

Project delay liability — coverage for claims that your work caused scheduling or financial losses on a larger project.

You said it was fixed. The customer says otherwise.

A mechanic’s misdiagnosis leads to a repeat repair, and the customer wants both bills paid. A fleet manager audits your credentials and pulls the contract when you can’t show proof of professional liability. In transport, your professional decisions around logistics, valuation, compliance, and documentation carry serious financial consequences. When your judgment falls short—even without a collision or physical loss—you can be held liable.

Cargo loss — A freight broker selects a carrier with inadequate insurance, and high-value cargo is lost in transit. The shipper holds the broker’s professional judgment responsible.

High-value property in your care — $25K crime coverage is included for vehicles, boats, and equipment entrusted to you, that your “trusted” employee walks off with and never comes back. Note: the crime coverage for others property only covers thefts by the insured’s employees.

Cost of correcting your work — when a job needs to be redone, the policy is designed to help with the financial loss your business absorbs to make it right.

Your Sign-off carries weight.

A pre-sale inspection misses a code violation. A certification audit clears a system that shouldn’t have passed. A technician’s compliance report becomes the basis for a six-figure transaction. Specialty trades professionals sign their name to assessments that clients rely on financially—and when those assessments don’t hold up, the claim follows your signature.

Inspection and certification claims on commercial properties — your pre-sale sign-off is challenged after the deal closes, and missed items cost the buyer money to remediate.

Safety-critical audits — you certify a facility or operation as compliant, a subsequent review reveals gaps, and the client claims financial losses tied to their reliance on your certification.

Commercial clients require E&O — property managers and facility operators require proof of coverage before contracting.

Negative reviews and public complaints

You fixed it once. Now they want you to pay for it twice.

An appliance repair fails within a week. A glass installation cracks in a cold snap. A technician ignores the manufacturer’s specs and the customer wants the full replacement paid for. Installation and repair professionals face system performance failures, and when standards weren’t followed, the claim escalates fast.

Callbacks and warranty disputes — E&O covers claims when a customer says your installation or repair failed to perform.

Failure to meet manufacturer specs — when your installation or repair doesn’t follow documented standards, and the customer claims the resulting failure cost them more than the original job.

Review-driven businesses need protection — $10K image restoration for when a single bad review threatens your livelihood.

You’re inside their home. That changes everything.

A pest inspector clears a home before a sale, and the buyer discovers termites six months later. A home organizer disposes of items the client says were valuable. A home inspector misses a structural issue. A building manager neglects routine upkeep, and the owner watches the property value drop. When you work on someone’s home or manage their property, the trust is personal, the standards are high, and the allegations can be devastating—even when they’re wrong.

Service and maintenance disputes — when your work doesn’t meet the client’s expectations and they allege your professional judgment cost them money, this is the type of claim E&O is designed to address.

Inspection and consulting errors — when your professional assessment or recommendation misses something material, and the owner is left with unexpected costs to correct it.

Crime coverage for in-home work — Pliable professional liability policies include $25K protection against theft or dishonesty allegations when working in private residences.
