Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professionals are generally considered to be experts in their field, and they are commonly held to have a higher duty of care than an ordinary person. If a professional makes a mistake or fails to render their services correctly in the course of their business, they could be sued. Notably, if their mistake results in financial loss or injury to a third party (e.g. a customer), that customer may take legal action against them to recover their losses.

Approximately 10% of professionals suffer allegations of non-performance from their customers each year. These allegations may not have any substance, but they will need to be defended. Defending against such an allegation is not only expensive but can cost the professional time and damage their reputation. If things do go wrong, the professional could be held responsible not only for their own actions but for those of their partners, employees, or volunteers.

Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance is designed for professionals who provide advice or a service to their customers.

The coverage is specifically intended to protect a professional against

  • legal costs and

  • claims for compensation to third parties

which may arise out of any civil liability, including an act, error, omission, or breach of a professional duty owed to a third party in the course of their professional business.
