FAQs
Q: What is Professional Indemnity insurance?

A professional indemnity insurance policy works in providing expert legal advice and legal expense cover in defending the claim and any subsequent awards up to the policy limit.
Q: How much cover do I need?
A: The limit of professional indemnity cover is the maximum amount the insurers will pay out. Your limit should reflect your exposure to possible claims. Talk to our expert team for advice on appropriate levels of cover for your profession.
Q: Do I have to pay excess?
A: While all professional indemnity insurers require professionals to pay excess (the amount of money that you agree to pay towards covering the costs of a claim yourself), most will keep this relatively low to prevent you from experiencing financial difficulty.
