Building your engineering consultants’ insurance policy
As an engineering consultant, you may require a number of different covers. Simply Business enables you to build a policy tailored to your needs. The following covers should help get you started:
Professional indemnity insurance is crucial for engineering consultants. If you provide faulty advice or are negligent in your work, and your client loses out as a result, you are likely to be held liable for that loss. Professional indemnity covers the costs of any such claims made against you. Many insurers will also cover legal expenses.
Public liability insurance covers you if a person (other than an employee) is injured or their property damaged because of your work. This insurance would pay the cost of a claim made against you for damages, and in some cases covers, the legal expenses as well. We offer a minimum level of £1m, up to £10m.
Details to look out for
- Make sure you read and understand any exclusions on your policy. Simply Business offers you the chance to read the policy documents online before you buy.
- Remember that you will need employers’ liability insurance if you employ anyone.
- Where possible, ask potential clients what level of professional indemnity insurance they expect before buying your policy.
