Professional indemnity insurance for Contract Project Managers
If you are contracting as a Project Manager you will likely be required to provide to your client evidence of Professional Indemnity Insurance. This is normally a pre-requisite for accepting a contract and covers you if there are any serious issues relating to the work you have undertaken.
Hiscox professional indemnity insurance is designed for small businesses and can protect Project Manager Contractors against the cost of settling or defending a client’s claim that there is a problem with the work you have done for them.
Professional indemnity insurance can give you peace of mind, and ensures that you present a professional and trustworthy image in front of your clients.
You may need Professional Indemnity Insurance if:
- You provide expertise, skills or advice an advisory service to clients
- You produce materials that could cause offence or infringe intellectual property rights
- You have access to client’s confidential information
- You offer a professional service and could be challenged on your work.
