Errors & Omissions / Professional Liability Insurance

As a professional in British Columbia—whether you are an IT consultant mapping out network infrastructure or an accountant providing critical financial advice—your expertise is your livelihood. However, even the most meticulous professionals face the risk of alleged negligence or oversights. A single software bug, design flaw, or miscalculation can lead to devastating financial claims that threaten your firm.

At InsureLine Alder, our Managing Directors Gurtaj Bahad and Michael Puni bring over 25 years of combined experience to help you navigate these complex risks. Operating from our Surrey office, our team holds CAIB, CIP, and Level 2 Broker designations. We understand the exact pressures BC service providers face and actively advocate for you with underwriters from over 15 top carriers—including Intact, Aviva, and Wawanesa—to secure policies tailored to your unique portfolio.

Professional Liability Insurance, also known as Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage, acts as your primary defense against claims of poor advice, breach of contract, or service failure. From handling disciplinary legal expenses to negotiating settlements on groundless claims, we deliver peace of mind so you can focus entirely on your clients.

Our 24-hour response guarantee means that when an urgent claim arises—such as a client demanding damages for an IT implementation failure or architectural design flaw—we are immediately by your side. We speak in layman's terms, ensuring you fully understand your risks and coverage options.

Beyond securing the most competitive rates, our commitment to your success is ongoing. We mandate extensive reviews at renewal and proactively re-shop your policy every single year among top-tier providers.

At InsureLine Alder, our approach to securing your Professional Liability Insurance is rooted in a structured, transparent process. We begin with an in-depth discovery discussion and a rigorous review of your current policy to identify early coverage gaps. By analyzing the specific nature of your consulting, engineering, or IT services, we pinpoint exact exposures—such as risks related to software deployment bugs or flawed financial reporting. Once we understand your operational baseline, we leverage our expansive network of 15+ carriers to conduct a multi-carrier market search.

After gathering quotes from trusted vendors like Aviva Canada, Intact, and Special Risk, we perform a detailed quote comparison. We sit down with you to review the different options, carefully explaining the pricing, limits, and specific risks covered by each policy in straightforward layman's terms. Our Managing Directors utilize their CAIB and CIP training to advocate aggressively on your behalf, negotiating directly with underwriters to tailor coverages perfectly to your firm's risk profile.

When it is time for policy finalization, we seamlessly process the quotes and ensure your portfolio is perfectly aligned across your business, cyber, and commercial needs. Should you ever face an allegation of negligence or a breach of duty, our team actively assists you throughout the entire claims process. Finally, our mandatory renewal reviews and continuous commitment to re-shopping your policy annually ensure your coverage remains completely optimized year after year.

    I had a wonderful experience getting my insurance done from them. Gurtaj and Michael went out of their way to help me as my previous insurance brokers got my mom’s insurance messed up. I am glad that I went to them. I highly recommend them if you want any kind of insurance without any hassle.
