Combined PI & PL Insurance

Anyone can make a mistake, even professionals.

Hence you always need a safeguard in place to protect your reputation and cover you financially against any alleged mistakes. Whether it's a misinterpretation of your words or an issue with the duty of care at your place of work.

In response to these issues, we have combined Professional Indemnity (PI) and Public Liability (PL) policies to provide comprehensive protection for authors.

What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Professional Indemnity Insurance protects your business from the legal costs and claims associated with allegations of negligence, professional misconduct, breach of duty or incorrect advice that you provide to a third party.

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public Liability Insurance protects against the financial risks of being found liable for a third-party death or injury, loss or damage to property or economic loss resulting from your business activities.

Why do Authors need to combine PI and PL Insurance?

In an ideal world, you as an author or writer provide well-researched quality content to your client but writing is a complex process and it isn't always easy to measure it or to agree on quality. This nature of your work exposes you to a potential negligence claim, claims of plagarism or claims where a client does not deem your work suitable.

Or it might be the case that at your home/office you're found liable for damage to a person or property. Injuries to third parties cause by simple slips, trips and falls are a common source of public liability claims. These claims can also arise on a client visit to your home or premises, or during public events and speaking engagements.
