Why do IT project managers need business insurance?

IT project managers are responsible for the success of a project, and can take the blame when something goes wrong. E&O insurance covers legal costs if a client sues over a missed deadline or poor results. Other policies help pay for workplace injuries, data breaches, and common accidents.
