In Detail: About professional indemnity insurance
Who needs professional indemnity insurance-
Professional indemnity insurance is a type of insurance that covers the legal expenses of the insured person in relation to a claim made against them. It can be used for both individuals and companies. It is usually purchased by lawyers, accountants, doctors, dentists, and other professionals who may be sued for their work.
Professional indemnity insurance covers legal expenses that are incurred as a result of claims made against an insured person. The claim might involve loss caused by negligence or malpractice on the part of a professional or injury caused by someone else’s negligence or malpractice.
This type of insurance helps protect people from liability claims resulting from professional activities that are undertaken in good faith but which may later prove to have been negligent or even maliciously fraudulent in nature. It also provides protection against any losses incurred as a result of these claims including medical expenses, lost income and legal fees.
The Benefits of an Indemnity Policy over a General Liability Policy
An indemnity policy protects the business from liability for property damage or bodily injury that occurs on their premises. A general liability policy covers the business for any damages to property or personal injuries that occur anywhere.
An indemnity policy is a form of insurance that protects the insured from any liability associated with their activities. It is a contract between two parties, where the insurer agrees to pay for damages that are caused by the insured.
A general liability policy is a form of insurance that protects an individual or business from legal responsibility for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and other related claims. It covers all legal claims that are not specifically excluded in the policy and it can be purchased as stand-alone or as part of a package deal with other types of insurance such as workers’ compensation insurance or automobile insurance.
An indemnity policy differs from a general liability policy in many ways. For example, an indemnity policy will typically cover damage caused by natural disasters whereas a general liability policy will not cover this type of damage unless it is specifically stated in the contract. An indemnity policy also typically has higher premiums than a general liability policy because it covers more risks than just bodily ones.
