Brownyard Launches Pest Control E&O Coverage

Brownyard Group has introduced errors and omissions (E&O) coverage for its PCOpro pest control program. The new coverage provides protection against claims seeking monetary damages due to negligence.

The program manager has underwriting authority for the endorsement, which is written on an admitted basis and backed by a carrier rated A+ by A.M. Best. It is available in most states.

“As part of treatment or inspection claims, especially those related to bed bugs, businesses can potentially seek monetary damages to cover lost revenue and other expenses not normally covered by a commercial general liability policy,” said John Culotta, program manager of PCOpro. “Our innovative E&O endorsement offers pest control professionals this important protection, which is not easy to find among insurers today.”

The Bay Shore, N.Y.-based Brownyard designed PCOpro specifically for the pest management industry. It provides commercial, general and professional liability. The product also includes commercial property and inland marine, business auto, umbrella, workers’ compensation and first- and third-party dishonesty coverage.
