Professional Indemnity Insurance Brokers

Protect Your Business Against Professional Risks

Whether you're an architect, consultant, doctor, lawyer, or designer, a minor mistake can result in costly legal claims. PI insurance protects you from having to pay for these claims yourself.

What Is Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance is a safety net for your finances and professional reputation. It covers you if a client sues you for causing them financial loss through errors, omissions, or bad advice.

At R1SE, we simplify this process, so you can concentrate on your job while we handle your cover.

Benefits of Professional Indemnity Insurance

Covers Legal Fees

Legal battles can cost a lot, even if you have done nothing wrong. Professional Indemnity Insurance comes to your rescue by paying court expenses, lawyers' fees, and settlement amounts.

This saves you the trouble of having to withdraw from your business or personal funds to defend yourself. It gives you the confidence to respond to claims promptly without having to worry about money.

Financial Security

A single unexpected claim can lead to a significant financial loss for businesses or individuals. Professional Indemnity Insurance provides a buffer, paying for the compensation and costs that might otherwise interfere with your operations.

This guarantees your business's cash flow is consistent, and you can concentrate on work rather than stress over liabilities. It's like having a financial buffer for the unexpected

Compliance

For some careers, Professional Indemnity Insurance isn't a choice; it's a requirement. You might need to show PI insurance as evidence to a regulatory body, a client, or a contract before taking on work.

Getting the correct insurance not only ensures you comply, but it also makes you an ethical, professional service business. That can set you apart from competitors who aren't so covered.

Safeguards Your Reputation

In the professional sphere, reputation counts. A claim against your services can raise doubts about your credibility, even if it’s unfounded.

PI insurance helps to resolve claims quickly and thereby reduce damage to your professional reputation. With appropriate support, you can preserve client trust and continue your practice with confidence.

Peace of Mind

Having to work with the ever-present threat of possible claims hanging over you is stressful and distracting. Knowing you have PI insurance covering you means you can approach your work with complete confidence, knowing you are protected from unforeseen claims.

You don't have to wonder about every action or fear the cost of an error. It's a comfort that makes you perform to your optimum.

Why Do You Need Professional Indemnity Insurance

Even the most skilled experts can encounter errors, miscommunication, or dissatisfied customers. One claim can cause huge legal bills and financial pressure.

Professional Indemnity Insurance safeguards you against these surprise expenses, paying legal bills and settlements so your company and savings remain intact.It also enhances credibility; most customers and agreements demand PI insurance before they hire you.

It's protection and also a professional benefit.

What Is Covered Under Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Professional Negligence

In case a client sues you for stating that your advice, design, or service led to them losing money because of an error or negligence, PI insurance covers it. It pays for legal fees and payouts, so you don't have to cover them out of your own pocket.

Breach of Duty

All professionals have some level of work that they need to uphold. If a client claims that you failed to uphold this level, the policy can fund the ensuing legal fees and claims.

Defamation

Occasionally, a comment, report, or written report might inadvertently damage a client's or competitor's reputation. PI insurance can pay for your defence in defamation matters, e.g., libel or slander claims.

Loss of Documents/Data

Lost or damaged files, paper or digital, that you hold for clients, are one of the leading causes of a claim to be made against professionals. Replacing this data can be a costly task for an architect or designer, and professional indemnity insurance can provide support for this eventuality.

Accidental Copyright Infringement

Infringing on another's intellectual property without authorisation (even by mistake) may lead to lawsuits. PI coverage compensates for legal defence fees and potential settlements for such suits.

Legal Fees

Whether your claim against you is legitimate or not, defending yourself can be costly. PI insurance covers legal costs, expert witness fees, and settlement awards, so your finances are not stretched.

What Does Professional Indemnity Insurance Not Cover?

Intentional Wrongdoing

PI insurance will not intervene in the case of fraud, dishonesty, or deliberate damage. If an individual purposely misleads a client or does something wrong on purpose, the claim won't be paid. The policy is meant to cover mistakes, not wrongdoing.

Intentional Wrongdoing

PI insurance will not intervene in the case of fraud, dishonesty, or deliberate damage. If an individual purposely misleads a client or does something wrong on purpose, the claim won't be paid. The policy is meant to cover mistakes, not wrongdoing.

Contractual Penalties

If you already know of a complaint, dispute, or mistake before your policy commences, it won't be insured. Insurance is for unexpected events, not those you were informed about already. That's why honesty is key when commencing a policy.

Physical Injury/Property Damage

Professional Indemnity protects financial loss arising from your work, not physical damage or loss of property. Public Liability Insurance traditionally covers such risks. Nevertheless, if the damage or injury is a result of your professional advice, there could be limited coverage under the terms of the policy.

Insolvency

If your company becomes insolvent or bankrupt, PI insurance will not pay for those losses. The cover exists to provide defence against claims from customers, not to shield your business against financial ruin.
