Professional Indemnity Insurance
What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Everyone makes mistakes at times. But as a business or consultant paid to provide a service or professional advice, you could be liable for negligence for any mistakes you make.
Not only will a resulting lawsuit be expensive, but the reputation you’ve worked hard to gain could be damaged, costing you potential income.
This is where professional indemnity insurance steps in; it can cover defence costs, compensation of claims, reputation repair and more so you can get right back to business.
Whether you’re in design, architecture, consulting, project management, or real estate, you’re prepared for the unforeseen.
What can be covered
- Errors & omissions
- Faulty designs
- Inaccurate advice
- Inquiry costs
- Defamation
- PR & reputation repair
What may not be
- Employer's liability
- Bankruptcy
- Disputes regarding fees
- Known defects & breaches
- Intentional acts
- Loss or damage to own resources
How can we help?
With access to a range of quality insurers, and policies not available to the public, we can offer you a range of quotes.
We’ll help you compare the coverage offered for each, so you can choose what’s best for your needs.
For every new business quote and renewal, we break down all important changes and comparisons for you in plain English.
A tailored Professional Indemnity policy ensures you’re protected from many possible risks involved with advice and services.
Professional Indemnity claim example
James is an engineer who designs the supporting foundations of a residential property. He makes an error with the site calculations – which leads to the slab cracking and damage to the newly constructed home.
His company is liable for this loss, which could be anywhere between $150,000 up to the full replacement value of the house.
As James has professional indemnity insurance, he’s covered for this amount – as well as any legal expenses if the matter goes to court.
Even if it turns out James did nothing wrong, his policy will still pay to defend him and save him $30,000 in legal defence costs.
