What are the differences between Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance ?

The physical aspect, someone trips over your doorstep, is obviously public liability but when it comes to design and supply, perhaps for a central heating system, if there is a fault, is it the pipe-work that has failed, or the installation or the basic design which has an inherent fault?

The pipe-work problem can be resolved and could be a public liability claim, the installation could be faulty workmanship, which would not be covered, or it could be a problem that can be passed to the manufacturer of the installation. However, the design and possibly the installation could be the result of something being missed or a specification not being adhered to and that could come under Professional Indemnity.

Therefore we need to have a fairly detailed understanding of what you actually do and then we can advise on what, in our opinion, is the cover required.

We offer Professional Indemnity Insurance to cover all professions and trades and will be very happy to discuss individual requirements.

We are only ever as good as our last quote and our last claim, but we do make every effort to ensure that you understand the cover you have is relevant to your circumstances.
