Errors and Omissions Liability
Mistakes happen. But even an innocent error on your part could lead to a client bringing a lawsuit against you for negligence. A State Farm Errors and Omissions Liability policy can help you and your company pay for legal judgments or settlements. It also helps cover defense costs, which can be substantial even if you're not found liable.
We offer coverage for a wide variety of professional services such as real estate professionals, technology consultants, web designers, management consultants, computer programmers, marketing consultants and many more.
Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)*
If you run a business, you face a risk of being sued by an employee or applicant for discrimination, wrongful termination, or sexual harassment. Damages can include compensatory awards, not just lost wages — and these allegations aren't covered by most general liability policies. A State Farm EPLI policy can help protect you and your business in the event of wrongful employment practice claims.
Not-for-Profit Organization Liability with EPLI*
Nonprofits aren't immune from liability, harassment, discrimination, or wrongful termination lawsuits — and even if the court decides in your favor, you could be stuck with a substantial legal defense bill. A State Farm Not-for-Profit Organization Liability policy, which includes EPLI, can help protect your organization from these claims. It also covers your nonprofit's directors, trustees, officers, employees, committee members, and volunteers.
