As a professional, it is your duty to take care of your client. If someday you fail to exercise your duty and neglect promises made, then you are liable for the losses incurred by the clients.

Professional indemnity insurance acts as a kind of safety net protecting you and your business from the financial claims made by your dissatisfied customers. Our policy will cover all the legal expenses to defend your status in case a negligence claim is made against you.

There are cases where you may not be at fault and still the clients blame you for negligence on your part, professional indemnity insurance will still protect you from the heavy legal charges. If you purchase professional indemnity insurance, it will protect you from such severe actions by covering claims made against you.
