[SPAM] [Hidden-tech] errors & ommisions insurance for web designers

[Paul Stallman]

Errors and omissions is ridiculous expensive in our business.  We used to
have it, but I've instituted a policy of always making right with the
customer instead.  So if we ever make a mistake or have a print error or
anything I eat the cost.  It's much cheaper. Plus we are very diligent with
making sure we don't have errors that we or the client will get sued for.  

 

Yes it's a risk, but I guess it depends on the size of the clients you work
with, the legality of the products and services they produce, and your
willingness to get sued. 

 

The last time we had it, it ran like $8000/year.  That's a big chunk of
money, granted so is a lawsuit, but....

Subject: [SPAM] [Hidden-tech] errors & ommisions insurance for web designers

 

Hi Everyone,

 

I am interested in hearing what other web designers are doing about errors
and omissions insurance - do you guys think it's a good idea? I belong to a
business group full of non-web designers who insist that I should have it -
and I do think it would make me more comfortable but as I've looked around I
see awfully high prices - higher that what some medical practitioners are
paying!

 

Any thoughts or recommendations in general? Any suggestions about where to
shop for liability / errors and omissions ins. for web designer-developers?
Are there associations with good group rates? I've looked around but not
found any...

 

Thanks so much!

Nancy
