Professional indemnity insurance

Claims made to the insured and insurer during the policy period for breach of professional duty by reason of any act, error or omission, together with costs and expenses incurred in settlement of such claims.

This is a claims made policy, which means the policy covers claims made to the insurer during the policy period. It is vital to inform insurance as soon as possible of any incidents which may give rise to a claim in the future, as if a claim is lodged in one calendar year for an incident which occurred in a previous year, the insurer may be able to deny liability.
