FAQs
Find answers to your most pressing questions about Professional Indemnity Insurance.
Professional indemnity insurance protects professionals and businesses against claims that their advice or services caused a client financial loss, for example through negligence, errors or omissions. It can help with legal defence costs and compensation, subject to your policy terms.
It commonly covers claims of negligence, breach of professional duty and errors or omissions, along with defence costs and settlements up to your limit. It does not usually cover known claims, dishonest acts, fines, or injury and property damage. Your policy wording has the full detail.
It depends on your profession, the size and value of the work you do, and what your clients or contracts require. Common limits range from $500,000 to $5,000,000 or more. We can help you choose a limit that suits your risk.
Often, yes. Depending on the insurer, you may be able to adjust the limit of cover, the excess and the retroactive date, or add extensions such as run-off cover. We will explain what is available for your profession.
PI policies are usually claims-made, so you need to tell your insurer as soon as you receive a claim or become aware of a circumstance that may lead to one. Your insurer then assesses the claim under your policy, and we can support you through the process.
