Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional Indemnity Insurance is designed to protect your business against any claims arising from bad or negligent advice or service.

'Protection from the financial consequences of making errors & omissions’

If you give advice or provides services in a professional capacity you are open to being sued. It is all too easy in today’s competitive, fast moving commercial climate for mistakes to be made, deadlines to be missed or even just to forget to do something. The financial consequences can be severe. With litigation increasing there is a growing trend to sue for Breach of Contract.

We can offer:

A flexible and innovative approach to your requirements
Bespoke policy wordings
Policies which meet the requirements of Professional Bodies
High limits of indemnity
Cover where specific contractual obligations are entered into
Policies which dovetail with public and products liability insurance
Quotations and cover for both traditional and new occupations
Expert claims handling including access to specialist P.I. loss adjusters

A failure to plan protection could incur substantial losses.

The best form of protection against potential liabilities and there are many, would be to arrange an insurance policy.

Contact either Linda Yerlett or Richard Hiscox to discuss your requirements in strictest confidence. A simple proposal detailing your business, experience and expertise will lead to a personal quotation.

How much cover is required?
Only the professional can assess the amount of cover appropriate to the business. In determining how much cover to effect, it is important that a realistic view is taken of the potential damages and legal costs for which the business could become liable. Being under-insured can be almost as financially disastrous as being without insurance at all - as the examples below reveal.
