Who Needs Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Any business that provides a professional service to customers should consider investing in this type of policy—especially if a claim of negligence is made against the business without the funds or means to defend itself in legal proceedings.

Consumers today are far more informed about their rights, and if a claim is made based on poor service or incorrect advice, the customer is legally entitled to sue the business. Professional Indemnity Insurance helps protect you from the financial impact of these situations.

Requirements in the Business Space

Certain industry bodies in South Africa require professionals to have Professional Indemnity Insurance in place before they may register or practice. For example, newly qualified lawyers must have this policy via the Attorneys Insurance Indemnity Fund (AIIF) as part of their membership fee.

In the corporate environment, large companies often require proof of Professional Indemnity Insurance before signing service agreements with outsourced providers. This helps safeguard against legal risks if the outsourced service is inadequate or leads to losses.

If your company offers professional services based on skill and expertise, compare Business Insurance quotes on Hippo.co.za to find the right policy that includes Professional Indemnity Insurance.
