It’s essential for businesses to protect themselves against claims of professional negligence with the correct level of professional indemnity insurance (PI insurance).

What is professional indemnity insurance?
This type of liability insurance is designed to safeguard businesses that offer professional advice and services against claims of wrongdoing in carrying out their duties. There are several forms of professionals’ insurance.

A negligent act, error or omission
This type of PI insurance indemnifies the policyholder against loss incurred as a result of a negligent act, error or omission in carrying out their business. It is the narrowest form of professional insurance cover.

Breach of duty
A typical PI insurance policy will provide indemnity to the insured against loss arising from a claim for breach of duty which may be made because of any neglect, error or omissions committed in the conduct of the insured’s professional business.
