Yes. We exclusively place coverage with insurers rated "A" (Excellent) or better by AM Best. This ensures financial strength to pay claims and provides peace of mind that your coverage will be there when you need it.
Professional liability (E&O) covers claims arising from the advice, services, or designs you provide — financial losses your clients suffer from your work. General liability only covers bodily injury and property damage, not pure financial loss.
Contract indemnification doesn't replace insurance — it just specifies who's liable. Your professional liability policy is what actually pays the defense costs and judgments. Many client contracts require proof of E&O insurance as a condition of work.
