Professional Indemnity Insurance
Keep your business safe and protected
If you give advice or offer a professional service, you may need professional indemnity insurance. Indemnity insurance can cover the costs involved with giving wrong, negligent or misleading advice. Even if the mistake was not yours, it can be costly to defend these type of claims.
Common professional indemnity claims are:
- Clients claiming compensation if there’s a mistake in the advice you’ve given.
- You could face claims if you accidentally disclose data or infringe on a client’s legal rights.
- In case you make a mistake in designs, plans or calculations.
Many clients will need you to have professional indemnity insurance in place before you can start working for them.
