When do you need Professional Liability Insurance?

You should consider taking out professional liability insurance if your business gives advice or offers a professional service to other businesses. It covers you if you are negligent or make a mistake which causes a client’s business to suffer financial loss.

For example, if an architect makes a mistake in the plans for a construction project, and it is only discovered once the building work is underway and materials purchased, the client would be likely to lose money through time for re-building and the cost of wasted materials. The architect would be liable for this cost.

Types of business that often take out professional indemnity include accountants, IT consultants, business consultants, journalists, architects, surveyors, engineers and many more.
