Professional Indemnity

Professional Indemnity

Professional indemnity insurance, often referred to as professional liability insurance or PI insurance, covers legal costs and expenses incurred in your defence, as well as any damages or costs that may be awarded, if you are alleged to have provided inadequate advice, services or designs that cause your client to lose money.

Need for PI

Many professions need to have professional indemnity insurance as part of their respective industry body’s regulatory requirements. Even if you are not obliged to have PI insurance, without it, you could be liable for thousands of pounds worth of legal fees and compensation payments – not to mention lost income from the time spent defending any allegation.

As the commercial environment becomes ever more litigious, so the risk increases. Organisations are now subject to greater regulation than ever before, making the risk of a compliance oversight more likely. It is also well known that when allegations are launched, no matter how spurious, the cost of the legal defence and any subsequent settlement can prove catastrophic.
