Looking for a new Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance policy? Need help with your existing Professional Indemnity cover? If the answer to either is yes, then here at Black and White we can help you out.
In its simplest form, Professional Indemnity (or PI) insurance is a specialised form of cover which offers protection in the unfortunate event that a paying client or customer brings a claim against you due to recommendations or services that you have provided, which causes them a financial loss.
Depending upon the industry in which you work, Professional Indemnity may be a mandatory requirement. However, because this is down to the individual regulatory bodies it isn’t always essential although may be recommended.
In jobs where advice and recommendations are commonplace, there is always the potential of things not going according to plan. An example would be where an architect has miscalculated measurements on a set of blueprints, which resulted in problems during construction, which had a financial impact upon the build.
This isn’t unheard of and can happen to anyone no matter their level of experience in their role. That is why Professional Indemnity insurance is so important. It can help reassure you, that when things may go accidently wrong, the implications for you both personally and professional will be less profound.
The costs of mistakes can be high when you add up the legal fees, expenses and compensation costs, that’s why we can offer you cover with £5 million worth of protection. Don’t take the risk, consider getting yourself insured.
A Professional Indemnity insurance policy could protect you and your career against claims arising from:
Breach or proven negligence of your professional duty
Negligent misstatement or misrepresentation
Libel, slander or defamation
Infringement of intellectual property rights
Breach of confidentiality including data
Accidental transmission of a computer virus
Employee dishonesty
What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional indemnity insurance is a form of business insurance designed to protect you and your profession against financial and legal claims from clients who have suffered a financial loss due to potential professional negligence and poor advice. It differs from Public and Employers liability cover in that it is designed to protect you, the policyholder, rather than the claimant.
Cover could also include protection against intellectual property infringement, claims of dishonesty or defamation, and those relating to loss or inappropriate use of documents or data.
What are the legal and financial risks of not having Professional Indemnity Insurance?
If you do not have appropriate Professional Indemnity insurance in place you are potentially leaving you and/or your business exposed to financial claims brought against you by your clients or third parties for work you carried out or advised on.
