Do you give professional advice or provide a professional service? Professional indemnity insurance protects businesses and individuals against the financial consequences of any errors made.
Unfortunately, sometimes even the simplest of circumstances can lead to a claim against your business. Someone might allege that you made a mistake, or provided them with inadequate or inaccurate advice. Perhaps you misinterpreted what was required, or unintentionally breached privacy or confidentiality. Maybe there was a failure to perform the work promised in the contract.
Having professional indemnity insurance in place will give you access to the legal costs you need to defend yourself, and will pay for any resulting judgments against you (up to the coverage limits in your policy).
Importantly, professional indemnity insurance will also help protect and defend your reputation. While settling a claim as quickly as possible may seem like the easiest solution, it’s important to consider the long-term impact of doing this. It may be seen as an admission of guilt and could have a devastating effect on your reputation.
Emjay Insurance Brokers can help you choose the right policy to protect you, your business and your reputation.
