Key Differences in Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance

Who Actually Carries the Risk

Chubb underwrites Pro ERM itself as a single combined policy. 3 Coverdash's terms state it does not provide underwriting services, instead placing this coverage with a carrier under its standard brokerage terms. 7

How Much Detail Each Publishes About Coverage Features

Chubb's page describes specific Pro ERM features, including personal injury coverage, disciplinary-proceedings defense, and a broadened professional-services definition that includes professional technology services. 3 Coverdash's reviewed page describes coverage in general terms of negligent advice, mistakes and missed deadlines, without naming comparable specific features. 8

Getting to a Quote

Coverdash offers a fully digital quote-to-purchase flow for professional liability, with the option to add coverages like general liability or cyber alongside it. 8 Chubb instead has agents and brokers quote Pro ERM through its Cyber Central or Marketplace platforms rather than a direct-to-business flow. 3

What to Confirm in Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance Quotes

  • Get the issuing insurer for Coverdash's placement; the reviewed page names no carrier. 8
  • Confirm Chubb's actual liability limit for Pro ERM, since the reviewed page names defense-cost treatment but not a limit figure. 3
  • Ask Coverdash for actual limit and deductible figures, since the reviewed page does not publish them. 8
  • Confirm whether Coverdash would route a technology or legal business to its separate Tech E&O or Lawyers Professional Liability products instead. 9

Product-page coverage cards; the issued policy and declarations control actual wording, limits, exclusions and whether the policy is claims-made.
