Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professionals owe a duty of care to their clients. This cover is necessary if you are receiving income to provide a professional service involving specialist knowledge or expertise, including advice, design, consultancy, opinion, and analysis to a third party.

Overview

This cover protects professionals against claims of negligence or breach of duty that may result in financial loss, bodily injury or property damage. Even if you are found not liable, the threat of claims and litigation can be costly and frustrating to defend, taking a huge toll on your business and reputation. This policy can protect against these costs, minimising the disruption to you and your business.
