InfoSec Consultant Liability Question

I am considering entering the InfoSec field as an independent consultant. My question is what kind of legal liabilities are general encountered during the course of work? Is there Insurance available, like a type of mal-practice insurance? I understand that systems can not be made 100% secure, and that knowledge transfer can be made to the client. But, there remains the possibility that if a network is compromised, the client may litigate for damages, etc. Any advice or pointers are most welcome. My thanks in advance. Frank Pawlak
