Professional Liability Insurance Coverage for Vancouver New Media Specialists 

Digital media specialists need to meet deadlines and expectations set by clients. A client may decide to sue you if they feel you have caused them financial loss as a result of your work. Professional liability insurance helps cover your legal expenses if a third party sues you for causing them financial loss arising from your professional service or advice.  

EasyCover offers three coverage limits: $1 million, $2 million and $5 million. This is the maximum amount your policy will pay out over the 12-month term, irrespective of the number of claims you have made. 

Our policies may include retroactive cover, which means you may be covered for claims made during the policy period for incidents that occurred before your policy start date. You will be asked to disclose any potential claims.  

Additional Liability Insurance Options for Vancouver New Media Professionals 

EasyCover offers additional liability protection for new media and digital professionals in Vancouver, including : 

  • Commercial general liability – helps cover legal expenses if you’re sued for causing bodily injury or property damage to a third party due to negligent acts. For example, if someone slips and falls while visiting your office. 
  • Cyber liability – helps cover expenses if you’re the victim of a cyberattack or data breach. 
  • Directors and officers liability insurance – if a director or officer is held personally liable for a negligent wrongful act, this coverage helps with legal expenses. 

We recommend all new media professionals in Vancouver carry commercial general liability and cyber liability in addition to professional liability insurance. These are all common exposures for all businesses regardless of industry or size and a single lawsuit can be financially devastating.
