Professional indemnity insurance
Professional indemnity insurance helps provide cover in the event a third party alleges that your negligent professional services or professional advice, has caused a bodily injury or financial loss. For example, a client may allege your treatment led to their condition worsening. Professional Indemnity insurance is intended to cover the cost of legal representation, as well as compensation you’re required to pay as result of the claim.1
The professional indemnity insurance that Aon arranges is a combined cover, so it also includes Public and Products Liability cover, as well as 2 hours of complimentary legal advice1. If you are a new Aon client you can also get 15 months cover for the price of 12 months.2
