Professional Indemnity Insurance
Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance is designed for businesses that provide professional services to their clients. It is essential for risk management and protects you and your employees from any legal costs or damage claims that may arise from negligent acts, errors and omissions or breaches of professional duty.
If a claim is lodged against your business for a slip up in your professional capacity, PI insurance will provide protection for defence costs and claims investigation costs.
What does professional indemnity insurance cover?
PI insurance aims to protect your business in the event of a claim and ensure that you can carry on operating your business. It also protects against the financial consequences of any mistakes as well as safeguarding your personal and business reputation.
It will help ensure you don’t end up spending a large amount of money in legal costs should a claim arise – even if it is a false claim.

- Failure to deliver services
