What Are the Key Differences Between Foxquilt and Travelers Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance?

Profession-specific options

Travelers offers separate E&O products for accountants, lawyers, design professionals, real estate and insurance professionals, among other fields. Foxquilt’s reviewed E&O page names technology and creative businesses, and gives named class examples. If your work is outside those Foxquilt examples, ask about class eligibility before comparing a quote with a profession-specific Travelers product. [5] [1]

What the coverage description establishes

Travelers describes protection for allegations of inadequate work, negligence or failure to meet expected service, including defense and settlement costs, with coverage tailored to a profession. Foxquilt describes claims-made protection for financial loss caused by professional services or advice. Compare the quoted allegations, defense treatment and reporting trigger because the summaries do not establish identical policy wording. [5] [1]

How you buy

Travelers provides agent applications and forms for professional liability. Foxquilt provides a product quote path. Ask for the profession-specific Travelers form and the proposed Foxquilt insurer, then compare the policy wording and application route. [6] [1]

What Should You Confirm in Foxquilt and Travelers Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Travelers which profession-specific form and issuing affiliate apply; ask Foxquilt to confirm your exact class, policy limit, claims-made reporting terms and insurer. [5] [1]
