A painter and decorator was finishing a job in a house with a newly laid carpet. They accidentally dropped an open tin of gloss with obvious results. The customer claimed the cost of the carpet and the labour to re-fit a new one.
Public liability insurance covered legal expenses and the compensation awarded.
A structural engineer was tasked with calculating the amount of steel beams and lintels required for a commercial building. During construction it became apparent that the calculations were wrong and the steel would not hold the required load. The project had to be restarted, resulting in a heavy financial loss and large claims against the engineer.
Professional indemnity cover paid the claim and helped keep the engineer in business.
A scaffolding business had scaffolded a house without securing it properly. In strong winds the scaffolding collapsed onto the next door neighbour's house, destroying a large section of the roof.

Professional indemnity insurance is essential for welders who provide advice, design work, or consultancy. It covers claims if a client suffers financial loss because of a mistake in your work. You can take it out on its own or alongside other business insurance. We offer flexible limits of indemnity from £50,000 up to £5 million.
