Many clients won't do business with you unless you provide the certificate indicating you have the appropriate level of coverage. In the networking business, this can often be 1 or 2 million dollars.
I don't consult myself, but is *anybody* crazy enough to do consulting in the litigation-crazy US without carrying errors-and-omissions insurance?
I'm sure there are some people who do, but I'd say they were stupid over crazy.
[Ryan Finnesey] At one of the User Groups I run the pizza place needs 6 million dollars in insurance just to make a delivery to the building. Cheers Ryan
