  I agree that the amount necessary may vary depending on a number of issues. One of the things to look at is how much coverage your client may want you to give them. The current ALTA/ACSM specifications in Table A for a Land Survey do allow the client to negotiate E&O coverage amounts.

  Most minimum E&O coverage I have seen starts out at a million per incident. This may not be enough for a client who wants you to.... say.....stake out a Nuclear Power Plant. However it might be enough to do the normal run of the mill residential boundary survey.

  Paul,
  The amount your State or jurisdiction requires or suggests (what is your statutory or otherwise legal liability?). Unless you are asking an insurance salesman, there should be some normal standard where you practice. I know, "yes Dr. Obvious", but it varies from place to place, and from project to project.
