Professional Indemnity Insurance
- Professional Indemnity is a ‘Claims Made Policy’ – this means your policy only covers you for claims made against you during the period of insurance, not before or after.
- Wordings generally fall into three categories: (1) Negligence; (2) Acts, Errors or Omissions; and (3) Civil Liability. But what do these actually mean, and which is best for your business?
- Is the sum insured inclusive or exclusive of defence costs?
- What is a reinstatement and how many reinstatements does the wording cover?
- Are there navigation and/or jurisdictional restrictions to your cover?
- What is a retroactive date and what are the impacts on cover?
- Does cover include advancement of defence costs? Why is this important?
- Are joint ventures covered, and if so, to what extent?
- What is the impact of contracts on the cover?
- Does cover extend to liability from contractors and sub-contractors? Does the scope of their activities impact if they are covered?
- What is a notifiable event and when should notification be made to the insurer? What is the impact if this is not made?
- What is continuous cover and why is it important?
- What is run-off cover and when is it needed?
