What is professional indemnity insurance?

Professional indemnity insurance, also known as professional liability insurance, covers the costs in defending your business, as well as any compensation or damages subsequently awarded against you, following allegations of professional negligence. This could result from providing clients with poor advice, breaching copyright or losing important documents or data. Professional indemnity insurance is mandatory for many professions, and the absence of covers could result in your business being liable to pay thousands of pounds in costs and compensation should you make a mistake.

What is public liability insurance?

Public liability insurance is essential cover for professionals and businesses that regularly interact with clients and members of the public. Public liability insurance covers the legal costs in defending a claim, in addition to any compensation subsequently awarded, if, in the course of your business, you:

  • Cause injury to a third party
  • Damage third party property
  • Cause injury to or damage third party property, arising from a product you have supplied

Without public liability insurance cover, your business could face financial ruin following any of these events.
