Legal advice is expensive. Very expensive. Professional indemnity insurers will pay your legal costs when defending a claim and, if you’re found liable, any compensation.

And let’s face it: budgeting for insurance is easier than budgeting for a trial. Especially as our Hiscox policies are payable by monthly Direct Debit, interest-free.

Don’t let hindsight be the one to tell you it’s good value.

Insurers have a dedicated team of litigation specialists available to them. They know what information is required to defend a claim. We’re guessing that you probably don’t.

All you have to do is provide the information they need.

So if you do receive a claim, you know that you’re not alone in defending it. In fact, you’re in pretty good company.

Professional indemnity insurance can put right your mistakes.

Not in a magic fairy kind of way, obviously. But insurers will pay the cost of doing so, thereby keeping the client happy.

Insurers are savvy; they’d rather not go to court - it costs them more. Putting mistakes right to avoid claims is cost effective for all concerned.

Professional indemnity isn’t a debt collection service. But if a client refuses to pay you because they believe you’ve been negligent, the policy covers this.

You see, if you were to pursue your money, your client would make a counterclaim against you. The counterclaim would effectively trigger the policy anyway, so insurers make a pre-emptive strike by paying your outstanding fee.

So not every unpaid invoice will leave you high and dry.

Yes, “peace of mind” is straight from the commonplace school of clichés, but it’s quite apt.

We all make mistakes. But if you are a sole trader, your personal assets could be at risk if a substantial claim is made against you.

Professional indemnity insurance protects you against what could be a very expensive mistake.

Sweet dreams.
