Professional indemnity insurance will protect you against the mistakes you make in the course of your work for clients.
As a professional, you owe a legal 'duty of care' to your clients. If you breach that duty of care, your client can claim compensation from you for the losses and expenses caused by your negligence.
Professional indemnity insurance will cover the cost of defending any allegations or claims made against you, so you won't have to pay lawyers' fees. If you're in the wrong, the insurer will either pay the cost of putting your mistake right, or pay compensation on your behalf.
Blyth Valley specialises in providing professional indemnity insurance for independent businesses and self-employed individuals. We offer two types of policy, both of which are underwritten by Hiscox, the leading insurer in the field.
