Is this reference to liability insurance about general liability or errors
and omissions? General liability wouldn't make any sense if you are working
offsite, and getting errors and omissions insurance for technical writing
is unheard of by insurance agencies with whom I have talked. ("Technical
writing, what is that exactly?")
