data processors errors and omissions coverage

Insures liability arising from errors and omissions in performing data processing for outside entities on a fee basis. Coverage is usually on a claims-made form. The policy provides no coverage for bodily injury or property damage liability which can create a coverage gap for certain data processing applications, e.g., in medical analysis whereby an error in a diagnostic computer program causes bodily injury. Further, when one organization provides services for sister companies or its own subsidiaries, coverage would not normally apply to errors and omissions claims by these companies or subsidiaries.
