What is Professional Indemnity Insurance? an Easy to Understand Guide

Professional Indemnity Insurance (PI) is difficult to comprehend. However, I’ve devised a guide to make professional indemnity insurance simple.

 

What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional Indemnity Insurance is a form of business insurance for professionals who are in industries where others may rely on their professional advice. By being regarded as an ‘expert’ in a field, others may seek legal action against you if they suffer a loss from your professional advice.

For example, if you are an accountant and are responsible for preparing and lodging your client’s tax returns, a failure to lodge the tax returns on time can result in interest and penalties for your client. Your client could take legal action against you for a breach of your professional duty.

Professional Indemnity Insurance may protect you from such action by covering claims made against you, including legal defense costs up to your specified amount of cover, and after taking into account your excess (of course, you would need to look at your policy wording to look at what specifically is covered).

Why Do People Hate Thinking About Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Professional Indemnity Insurance forms the largest percentage of your business insurance expenses. Typically, Professional Indemnity Insurance is a time-consuming process taking up to 12 weeks. Again, it’s expensive and most people don’t know if they are getting the best deal.

This is where companies like BizCover steps in to satisfy your Professional Indemnity Insurance needs.

Help answer the question about insurance

no health insurance and have a preexisting condition. Can I start work? or is there any insurance available?
I live in GA. We just got an insurance and told them about this condition. It's very small surgery for my daughter. but now they are denying it. Is there any other insurance I can take? or if I get insurance through work would that help?

    I don't have it and I don't trust it…human insurance is bad enough with all the small print. My dog insurance is Master Card, it's the only "insurance" I'd recommend. It covers everything, literally! Good luck though if you feel you really must purchase insurance!

  • Tony G says:

    I have seen many people on here say that you are automatically covered when your parents have full coverage, including insurance agents. This is not true of all companies. Call your insurance carrier and ask. It is a lot easier than finding out after an accident that you are not covered.

  • speedjunkie199 says:

    man we get charged way to much for insurance
    i mean how do we afford that we cant even afford to live anymore now because every penny we have goes to stupid car insurance!!!!

  • Leo says:

    There's no average.

    You can't average no retro date and no tail, with 30 years of prior coverage.

    But if you don't "need" this type of insurance, don't buy it.

    No hospital will actually allow you to use their operating room without it, anywhere, in the USA, but hey, if you don't NEED it, hey.

    As to where it's cheaper – Not in the state of NY. Generally, the states which limit tort (republican states) are more friendly to doctors. But your professional association, or professional magazines, should be giving you a list of cheaper states. I believe there are at least 45 of them, LOL.

    Reagan warned of obama and his kind, and I'm not referring to his race, He is a socialist, and health care is his door opener.

    Some group policies at work do not care about preexisting conditions.
    Some do. It is usually the private ones, not work connected that
    up the rates. Probably something to do with—- if you can work, then
    you probably are not too sick, or disabled, so you can be insured.
    If it is a dependent child, would you need to take insurance for you
    as well as the child, and what is the waiting period.
    Work insurance takes a while to go into effect. You may have a rider
    or whatever it is called, that will exclude treatment, or make you wait
    so long to have insurance, or treatment for the preexisting condition.
    I don't know for sure, you could find out some how who the employer
    or potential employer uses and check it out on line or by calling the company.
