What is covered under errors and omissions insurance for attorneys?

Errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, also known as lawyers' professional liability insurance, helps protect attorneys and law firms against claims alleging negligence, mistakes, omissions, or failure to provide professional legal services. Coverage typically includes legal defense costs, settlements or judgments (up to policy limits), claims arising from professional services, and certain personal injury claims related to the practice of law. Depending on the policy, coverage may also extend to disciplinary proceedings, pro bono work, prior acts, and claims from non-clients. However, intentional misconduct, criminal acts, fraud, and other policy exclusions are generally not covered.
