More clients require professionals they hire to carry Professional Indemnity insurance. You may risk losing the opportunity for a new project without it.
Contracts only go so far in protecting businesses from potential lawsuits, as contract provisions are routinely challenged in court and at a considerable expense.
The number of legal challenges continues to rise in this litigious society, as clients do not hesitate to take legal action if they feel the professional services performed were below their expectations
Defence costs, even in frivolous cases, can be costly in not only dollars but in lost work time.
A quality miscellaneous professional indemnity policy can be both cost effective and ensure that clients will be comfortable working with the professional firm.
Professional Indemnity Insurance is issued on a "Claims Made" basis
'Claims Made' is a term used to describe an insurance policy which provides cover for claims which are only notified during the term of the policy.
This is not necessarily the same time period when the actual incident or error causing the claim, occurred.
Professional indemnity policies provide a 'claims made' basis of cover because professional errors in construction, accounting, legal etc are often only discovered weeks, months or even years after the error was made.
Here's a simple example. If you made a costly mistake for a client in 2019 but your client does not discover their loss until 2020, it is your 2020 policy and insurer that deals with the ensuing negligence claim against you. Therefore a valid professional indemnity policy or 'run-off' policy must remain in force at all times for a claim to be met by an insurer.
