What is Professional Indemnity Insurance
Professional Indemnity Insurance, also known as indemnity insurance or PI, provides cover to protect you if claims are brought against you by a client. PI insurance can help to put mistakes right and cover any legal costs if a client alleges you have provided inadequate service or advice.
Many professional bodies require their members to hold professional indemnity insurance and large industries and companies will more often than not, insist that you have adequate PI cover before you are able to undertake work for them.
You should consider Professional Indemnity Insurance if you:
- give advice or offer a professional service that can be challenged
- handle data or intellectual property
- are considered to be a professional, specialist, expert or authority in your field
Do your customers visit your premises, or do you ever meet at their offices or homes?
If so then you may also need Public Liability Insurance to protect you in the event of an accident or injury to your customers or members of the public.
