Why buy Technology E&O?
Small and medium sized technology firms are especially vulnerable when dealing with claims. Claims and losses can arise from hacking, loss of data, when a technology professional fails to provide a software or hardware solution within the agreed period of time and many other circumstances. Technology professional liability can sometimes be written in conjunction with a Businessowners Package policy and may afford coverage for Intellectual Property, Unauthorized Access, Malicious Code and Personal Injury.

Claim
A software developer was hired to provide special tax revenue collection software for a state agency in the southern US. The contract amount was approximately $11 million. The consultant failed to deliver the software in a timely manner, resulting in a significant loss of tax revenue to the state. The state agency sued and the trial court returned a verdict in favor of the state agency in the amount of $474 million, much of which was punitive damages.
