Technology Errors and Omissions (E&O) Liability

Did you know that Information Technology (IT) is one of the fastest growing industries in the ?  According to the Department of Labor, employment in computer systems design and related services will grow by 39.5 percent and add almost one-fourth of all new jobs in professional, scientific, and technical services.

Management, scientific, and technical consulting services also will grow very rapidly, by 60.5 percent, spurred by the increased use of new technology and computer software and the growing complexity of business.

Unfortunately, the explosive growth in this field also creates liability exposures that could not have been foreseen even a couple of years ago.  IT firms are now susceptible to allegations of data theft, intellectual property infringement, and personal injury.  The financial implications of such claims – whether true or not – can be devastating to a company.

Rockwood Specialty is here to help.  We have access to markets that allow you to protect your clients against loss from a claim of alleged negligent acts, errors or omissions in the performance of their professional services.  We also provide coverage for such exposures as: 

• Failure to prevent unauthorized access to or tampering with data or systems
• Inability to provide authorized access systems unless caused by mechanical, electrical, or telecommunications failure 
• Failure to prevent the introduction of a computer virus 
• Allegations of infringement of copyright, trademark, trade name, title or slogan

We offer a wide range of liability limit and deductible options.  Rockwood Specialty only represents carriers rated “A” (Excellent) or better by A. M. Best for their financial stability, underwriting integrity, and claims-paying ability.

Rockwood Specialty is eager to assist you in placing your client’s coverage.
