Professional indemnity insurance (PI insurance) is a form of liability insurance that protects professionals against the financial risks of legal liability arising from a failure to provide professional services or from a failure to provide them with reasonable care and skill. In the UK, many professions require or strongly recommend PI insurance as part of their regulatory requirements. This includes solicitors, financial advisors, insurance brokers, architects, engineers, and many others. PI insurance covers claims made by clients who have suffered financial loss due to your professional negligence, errors, or omissions. It pays for legal costs, court awards, and settlement amounts up to your chosen level of cover. The cost of PI insurance varies depending on your profession, the level of cover you choose, and your claims history. On average, professionals in the UK pay between £150 and £300 per year for PI insurance, though this can be higher for regulated professions or those with higher risk profiles.
