Common questions about printer and copier business insurance
Why is E&O coverage important for a printing business?
Errors and omissions insurance is sometimes called media liability insurance, professional liability insurance, or media perils insurance.
An E&O policy protects against allegations that your professional conduct or content harmed someone financially or caused emotional distress, whether by intellectual property infringement, defamation, plagiarism, or a similar claim.
Some examples of media liability claims include:
- Work mistakes and oversights
- Missed deadlines
- Advertising injuries, such as libel and slander
- Copyright and trademark infringement
What other insurance coverage do printing and copying businesses need?
There are several additional insurance products printer and copier businesses should consider for their risk management plan and peace of mind, such as:
Commercial umbrella insurance provides additional coverage for liability claims made on general liability, commercial auto, or employer’s liability insurance.
Equipment breakdown coverage protects your company's computers, electrical systems, production machinery, and other equipment from sudden and accidental malfunctions that commercial property insurance typically excludes.
Business income insurance, also called business interruption insurance, compensates small business owners for their normal operating expenses and associated costs if a fire or other commercial property insurance claim forces you to temporarily close your doors.
