What are the types of cover?
When you take out Professional Indemnity Insurance you need to consider the sort of risks you may face as a business. Even if you have done nothing wrong, the legal costs of defending yourself against claims can invariably be very high, not to mention stressful in finding solicitors. For example, An Architect for example can make a mistake on their submitted plans, the client may allege that this resulted in a huge financial cost to them. Having an expert in your corner from the outset can be key to working out the true cost and defending your business. A web developer could create a new website for a client with errors leading to lost business. Having a dedicated claims team can often lead to a potential claim being settled for far less, or even dismissed entirely.
PI insurance pays your legal costs, as well as compensation payments if your client takes action against you. For many businesses large or small, it is required as essential; without it, you will be forced to cover costs yourself.
