As a consulting arborist or timber consultant, clients rely on your expertise to assess tree health, identify hazards, and make recommendations that can impact safety and property values. If a client alleges that an error in your work, a bad recommendation, or a breach of contract caused them financial harm, consulting arborist insurance can help protect your business legally and financially.
Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions insurance, protects you in case you make an error in your work. No matter how experienced you are, mistakes can happen. A client may allege that a tree was unnecessarily removed, that a hazard was overlooked, or that incorrect recommendations led to property damage or tree loss. Even if a claim is unfounded, defending yourself can be costly.
