Miscellaneous professional liability sometimes called errors and omissions (E&O) liability results from errors or omissions in the performance of professional services. Companies that perform professional services for others can make mistakes— overlook a critical piece of  information, misstate a fact, be misunderstood, forget to do something, misplace something, etc.—and be sued by their clients over allegations such as:

• Error, omission, or misrepresentation in providing a service.

• Failure to provide a service in a timely fashion, or at all.

• Failure to keep client information confidential.
