Why Engineers Need E&O Insurance

Engineers are held to high professional and legal standards. Clients expect precise execution, and municipalities often demand certified liability protection. If something goes wrong — even if it’s out of your control — you could be held
financially responsible.

Most engineers carry between $1M and $5M in coverage. High-risk disciplines (e.g., structural or geotechnical) may require more.
