What is professional liability insurance and why do consultants in Saskatoon need it?
Professional liability insurance is designed to protect consultants in Saskatoon if a third party sues them for causing financial loss as a result of their service or advice. Some claims examples include:
- You make a mistake that ends up costing your client thousands to fix. They are suing you to recoup their costs.
- A client says your advice has cost them thousands in revenue. They are suing you for lost revenue as well as the costs to fix the issues your alleged bad advice caused.
- A lost document means your client was unable to produce the proper paperwork to a regulatory body. They sue you to recoup the costs of the fine, lost revenue, and to replace the document.
- Even if you haven’t done anything wrong, you may still need to defend yourself in a lawsuit. Our professional liability insurance in Saskatoon can help cover defence costs, judgement awards and settlements in these types of scenarios.
Consultants in Saskatoon should have professional liability insurance for the following reasons:
- It may be required by a professional association or regulatory body.
- It may be required by contract.
- Being insured is appealing to prospective clients.
- Lawsuits are expensive and professional liability insurance can help cover these costs.
How much does professional liability insurance cost for consultants in Saskatoon?

- Your annual revenue.

Are there any other coverages Saskatoon consultants should have?
We offer three other coverage options for consultants in Saskatoon:
- Commercial general liability.
- Cyber liability.
- Director and officers liability.
Commercial general liability (commonly known as CGL insurance) is a standard coverage for businesses. It helps cover costs if a third party is injured or has their property damaged because of negligence by you or an employee. A common example is someone visiting your office, slipping, and falling, hurting themselves. Keep in mind this does not cover injury to your company’s property or employees.
Cyber liability helps cover costs if your business is the victim of a cyber-attack or data breach. This can include legal costs, regulatory fines, and other expenses. With the prevalence of cyber-attacks, we recommend every business carries this protection.
Directors and officers liability helps protect your personal assets by covering legal expenses if you are sued for a breach of duty.
Is there anything else consultants in Saskatoon should know about professional liability insurance?
Yes! First, make sure you choose the right amount of coverage for your needs. At EasyCover, we offer three optional limits of protection: $1,000,000; $2,000,000; and $5,000,000.
The amount of coverage you need depends on the number of clients you have, the value of those contracts, your overall annual revenue, the likelihood of a lawsuit and the expected cost of a lawsuit.
Second, one of the biggest benefits of EasyCover is that our professional liability insurance has retroactive cover. This means that any claims made during the policy period arising out of your past work is covered as long as you have a policy with us. So, if you put your professional liability policy in place this year and a client comes out of the woodwork and sues you for work you did three years ago, you will likely be covered. Just keep in mind you need to disclose any situation that could result in a lawsuit!
