Professional indemnity insurance

You may feel confident in your work, but any business providing a professional service is vulnerable to claims of negligence. Professional indemnity insurance protects your business against the cost of settling or defending a client’s claim that there is a problem with your work.

Hiscox Professional Indemnity Insurance includes cover for:

  • Breach of contract – one of the most common insurance claims for IT Contractors, covered as standard by Hiscox. This could include failing to deliver specified software features or the late delivery of a project.
  • Infringement of intellectual property rights – for example infringement of copyright or trademark, cyber-squatting violations or any act of passing-off.

Employers’ liability insurance

If you have employees we’re sure you will do your best to limit the possibility of injury or illness to them resulting from their work, but if they do have an accident, your business could be sued for compensation under your employers’ liability insurance. As a result, businesses in the UK that employ staff are legally obliged to have employers’ liability insurance to provide cover against a claim from an employee.

Public liability insurance

Public liability insurance covers the cost of settling or defending a claim from a member of the public where they have suffered bodily injury or property damage as a result of your business. This includes claims from clients, for instance, if you damaged a piece of equipment whilst working on a project at a client’s office.

  • portable equipment cover – for equipment taken outside of the office space e.g. laptops and phones
