For the Small Business Personal Support Worker, the PSWs you hire should carry Errors & Omissions Insurance. Examples like the following can occur:

• A staff member that you hired causes injury to a client and results in litigation and court costs – In this case, their E&O Insurance will cover their costs & your CGL will cover yours if you were both sued.
