What is Professional Indemnity insurance
Professional Indemnity insurance – an impressive product name but what is it all about?
Put simply, this is insurance that covers people against claims resulting from the expert services they provide to their clients.
For example, a real estate agent could be sued because he accidentally misled a client on property zoning. Or a designer who unknowingly breaches someone else’s copyright design could be taken to court. Perhaps it is an accountant whose advice to a client unexpectedly creates a tax liability.
