Professional indemnity insurance indemnifies you from the legal liability and legal defence costs you may incur as a result of breaching a duty of care to your clients. THE PROPOSAL FORM AND MATERIAL FACTS Please bear in mind that we need to get to know you; your
insurer needs to get to know you. The more information
you give us, the better we know you. |

YOUR CLAIMS HISTORY
Best to start tracking this from the moment you have a notification because the more information you are able to give to a prospective insurer, the better. Once prepared you don’t have to prepare it again – only update the information as the matter progresses! Brief summaries of incidents from memory leave open the possibility for omission; for example it would be helpful for you to explain to us significant details such as…… insurers felt you had a valid defence, however settled for commercial reasons - you might even have something to this effect on your file. If you move away from an insurer, ask them to prepare a confirmed claims experience for you. These are helpful and often difficult to obtain later.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Not to be underestimated. Professional Liability Risk Management has met its day and it applies to all of us. It’s quite simple but will not happen overnight. It concerns everybody in the firm and the administrative procedures as well as technical know- how. In a nut shell it basically relates to a careful review of how you all do what you do; a consideration of what could go wrong with your work in each area; a careful examination of any near-miss and the implementation of realistic measures over a period of time that will actually help to minimise the possibility of circumstances and claims from occurring.
