Cover designed for firms operating in specialist sectors offering high-value or complex advice
Professional indemnity combined
We’ve been providing professional indemnity solutions for over 30 years. Our professional indemnity combined product is provided as a ‘menu’ offering that allows other types of business protection to be arranged under the same policy. It is tailored to meet the needs of the sectors we operate in, with additional benefits to help navigate everyday challenges, as well as being backed by a multi-award-winning claims team.
Case study
General liability insuring clause
The insured is a limited company that provides Health and Safety advice and services to manufacturing clients. An employee of the insured’s client injured himself in an area of the manufacturing site which was under the control of the insured whilst acting as CDM contractor.
We instructed one of our specialist injury loss adjusters, who successfully defended the insured. There were no damages payments made, resulting in a small outlay of only the loss adjuster's fixed fee.
