EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES LIABILITY VS PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY

What Is EPLI (Employment Practices Liability Insurance)?

EPLI protects businesses from employee-related claims such as discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination. It helps cover legal fees and settlements arising from workplace disputes.

What Is Professional Liability Insurance (E&O)?

Professional Liability Insurance, also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O), protects professionals from client claims involving negligence, mistakes, or incomplete work. It is vital for service-based businesses like consultants, lawyers, and IT professionals.

Key Differences Between EPLI and E&O Insurance

EPLI focuses on internal risks related to employees, while E&O handles external risks from clients. Each policy covers a distinct set of liabilities and does not overlap in coverage.

Cost and Policy Structure

Both EPLI and E&O are usually written on a claims-made basis, meaning the policy must be active when a claim is made. EPLI tends to be more expensive, with average premiums around $1,824 annually, while E&O averages around $713.
