Frequently asked questions

How can I choose the right level of cover?

You should assess the greatest loss that might result from a mistake on any particular project/contract. Ultimately, no one will take on your responsibility to ensure you have enough cover, but you should carefully review this area with your broker. We're here to help.

If I work outside of the UK, will I be covered?

Not all policies cover work overseas automatically, so make sure to check the terms of your policy. If not covered already, arrange with your broker for the necessary amendments to be made.

Most policies will protect you against claims made against you in the UK, but if you want to be defended abroad you may need to change the 'jurisdiction clause'. This must be correct to ensure your activities are covered.

Ensure to tell your broker about all your overseas work, especially if you change this during your policy period.

Can I increase my limit for a particular client or contract?

Some clients will request higher limits for particular contracts, with subsequent cost implications.

Other than on very large projects, 'Single Project Professional Indemnity' is difficult to source in a cost-effective manner. Our normal advice would be to increase your overall limit of indemnity for your ‘whole turnover’.

The increased limit needs to continue for the length of your contractual obligations and exposure on the contract.
