What is professional indemnity insurance?

It helps protect your business if a client claims they’ve suffered a financial loss, as a result of advice you’ve given, or because of an error, omission or the service that you’ve provided. With professional indemnity insurance, you’re covered for the cost of legal fees, defence expenses and compensation payments if a claim is made against you, and you’re found to be negligent. This can help protect your business from potentially significant and unexpected costs.
