What is professional liability insurance?
No one is immune to lawsuits. Professional liability insurance in Regina —also known as errors and omissions insurance—offers protection should a client claim your professional advice or service caused them a financial loss.
For example, professional liability insurance can help photographers in Regina cover defence costs if sued for:
- making a professional mistake;
- failing to deliver a final product; or,
- acts of negligence causing financial loss.
Why do photographers in Regina need professional liability insurance?
The things you might stress about as a photographer—such as missing a photoshoot or losing clients’ images—can do more than damage your professional reputation. They can also lead to a lawsuit. If you’re paid to take pictures, you can be sued if a client claims your service caused them financial damage.
For example, professional liability insurance can help protect photographers in Regina from lawsuits that might stem from:
- Missing a photoshoot. For example, you could be involved in a car accident on your way to photograph a wedding and you miss the event. The couple hires another photographer at the last minute for a much higher rate and sues you for the extra expense.
- Not delivering images. For example, you lose or damage your memory cards or film. The client holds you liable for the cost of the re-shoot.
- Releasing images to the wrong party. For example, you accidently send photos to the wrong publication and your clients sues you for breach of contract.
Accidents happen and emotions often run high with photoshoots, whether you are photographing a wedding or a new product for a business. It’s important to protect yourself and your business.

What optional coverages are available for consultants in Regina?
Besides offering professional liability insurance, EasyCover can also provide a few additional protections for consultants in Regina.
Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL)
Commercial general liability insurance (CGL) is the most basic form of liability insurance. It offers protection in the event that you or any of your employees accidentally injure a third party or cause damage to their property while carrying out business operations. This includes any injuries or damages that occur on your premises or on a client’s property.
CGL insurance is considered a critical coverage option and if you have professional liability insurance but leave CGL out, you may leave your business vulnerable. We start CGL coverage at $1 million but you can choose higher limits if desired or required.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
Directors and officers can be held personally responsible for their actions while serving on a board of directors if they have acted outside the law or failed to perform their duties properly. Directors and officers liability insurance (D&O) is designed to offer protection for directors and officers, covering legal expenses from claims brought by regulatory bodies, suppliers and vendors, employees, creditors, and customers.
Criminal penalties or offences will not be covered as this type of loss is not insurable by law
Cyber Liability Insurance
Cyber liability insurance is designed to help cover certain costs following an alleged or actual hacking event or privacy breach. EasyCover’s cyber liability coverage includes network security liability and privacy liability. It may help cover the cost of network security and privacy breach costs, business income interruption losses, defence costs, extortion fees, digital asset losses, and regulatory fines.
Every policy has a specified limit, so be sure to familiarize yourself with yours and note any exclusions or separate deductibles.
