What is Errors and Omissions Insurance in Florida?
+
-

Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance in Florida is professional liability coverage that protects businesses and individuals against claims of inadequate work or negligent actions. It's crucial for Florida professionals like real estate agents, insurance brokers, and consultants. This policy covers legal defense costs and settlements up to the policy limit. In Florida's litigious environment, E&O insurance is especially important due to the state's complex regulatory landscape and high-value real estate market.

Who needs E&O insurance in Florida?
+
-

E&O insurance is essential for many Florida professionals, including real estate agents, lawyers, accountants, architects, and IT consultants. Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation requires certain professions to carry E&O coverage. For instance, home inspectors must have at least $300,000 in E&O insurance. Additionally, many Florida clients and contracts require E&O coverage as a prerequisite for business engagements, especially in high-stakes industries like finance and healthcare.

How much does E&O insurance cost in Florida?
+
-

E&O insurance costs in Florida vary widely based on factors like profession, revenue, and claims history. On average, small businesses might pay $500 to $1,000 annually, while high-risk professions could see premiums of $5,000 or more. Florida's unique risks, such as frequent property transactions and weather-related issues, can impact rates. For example, real estate agents in Miami-Dade County might pay more than those in less populous areas due to higher property values and transaction volumes.

What are common E&O claims in Florida?
+
-

Common E&O claims in Florida include real estate agents failing to disclose property defects, accountants making errors in tax filings, and IT consultants causing data breaches. Florida's climate also leads to unique claims, such as engineers failing to account for hurricane resistance in designs. The state's large retiree population often results in claims against financial advisors for unsuitable investment recommendations. In the medical field, Florida's statute of limitations for malpractice (2 years) influences the frequency and timing of claims.

Can E&O insurance in Florida cover past work?
+
-

Yes, E&O insurance in Florida can cover past work through retroactive coverage, also known as 'prior acts' coverage. This is crucial in Florida's dynamic business environment where claims may arise from work done years ago. The retroactive date is typically the date you first obtained continuous E&O coverage. For Florida professionals changing careers or starting new businesses, securing a policy with an appropriate retroactive date is essential to ensure comprehensive protection against potential claims from previous work.

How does Florida law impact E&O insurance claims?
+
-

Florida law significantly impacts E&O insurance claims. The state has a four-year statute of limitations for professional liability claims, except for medical malpractice (2 years). Florida's comparative negligence law can affect claim outcomes, potentially reducing damages if the claimant is partially at fault. The state's 'bad faith' insurance laws also play a role, potentially exposing insurers to additional liability if they don't handle claims fairly. Additionally, Florida's consumer protection laws, particularly in real estate and financial services, can influence the nature and frequency of E&O claims.
