Frequently Asked Questions about Professional Indemnity Insurance

We have a specialised Design & Construct Professional Indemnity policy that is suitable.

No. You should ask for a write back to the exclusion that covers BI arising out of a breach of professional duty. Most PI policies issued by BIA do not contain an exclusion for claims arising from BI if that injury is a result of a breach of professional duty.
