BUSINESS BUILDING LETTERS:

ERRORS & OMISSIONS FOR PROFESSIONALS: ENGINEERS, ACCOUNTANTS, LAWYERS, ETC.

Dear [Name]:

"The best laid plans of mice and men ..." and the careful, precise planning of a professional sometimes still result in an unforeseen disaster for a client. Whether it's an error of commission or omission – inadvertently made by one of the principals or by employees – the end result is the same: financial loss to the client who then sues your firm.

If this happens, you might be legally obligated to pay substantial damages. Even if you should be judged not guilty, it could cost thousands in legal expenses to prove it.

Your firm’s exposure to professional liability is something you can't ignore. This also has too great a loss potential for you to consider handling as an out-of-pocket expense.

Let's talk about it and see what we can do to relieve you of this potential burden. I'll call you in two or three days for an appointment at your convenience.

Sincerely,
