Creating a Risk Management Strategy Focusing on Professional Indemnity Insurance
Working with clients can involve a number of risks, and it’s inevitable that some mistakes will be made somewhere along the line. We’re only human, afterall. Therefore it’s important not only to have professional indemnity insurance, but to have the right cover for you and your business. The best way to do this is by incorporating a risk management strategy in with any professional indemnity cover to ensure you’re getting the most suitable cover for you and your business.
What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional indemnity insurance, also known as PI insurance, is cover that protects you and your business from the costs of compensating a client through any mistake you’ve made that causes them financial or reputational damage.
These could include things like giving incorrect advice, sharing sensitive information, defaming your client, breaching copywriting, and losing or damaging goods or documents.
If you’re a business that works with clients on a regular basis, it’s always useful to have professional indemnity insurance to cover you in case anything goes wrong through your dealings with them. There are many risks that could be covered by professional indemnity insurance, including some you might not have thought about before.
The world of professional indemnity insurance can be broad, with many different options for cover out there to use. There are a number of ‘off the shelf’ policies that you could take out, but they might be unsuited to the specific way your business operates. To better understand what you might need to have protection for, it’s best putting together a risk management strategy to go with any PI cover you take out.
