What Insurance Covers Software Errors and Coding Mistakes?

Technology E&O may cover client claims that a software error in covered services caused financial loss; fixing your own code and cyber response are separate questions.

A customer seeking damages for a coding mistake may have a professional-liability claim. Texas DOI describes E&O for damages from professional services, but the policy must include your technology services and products.

Ask how the form treats lost revenue, debugging or replacing your own code, data restoration, and customer privacy claims after a breach. Technology E&O and cyber sections may address different parts of the same incident.
