Types of Professional Indemnity Claims

Professional indemnity insurance protects professionals against allegations of negligence or errors in the services they provide. Claims typically arise when a third party alleges that a professional’s mistake, omission, or breach of duty has caused them financial loss. These claims can be complex, often involving intricate legal, factual, and technical issues.

At Tenarys Law, we defend professional indemnity claims across a broad range of professions, including:

1. Legal Professionals

Solicitors and barristers face claims for missed deadlines, inadequate advice, or errors in drafting legal documents. These claims require a deep understanding of both legal practice and professional negligence principles.

2. Construction and Engineering Professionals

Architects, engineers, contractors and surveyors are often involved in claims alleging design flaws, structural issues, or project delays. Our expertise in construction disputes complements our ability to defend these claims effectively.

3. Financial Professionals

Accountants, auditors, brokers and financial advisors may face allegations of misreporting, providing poor advice, or failing to identify financial risks. Our team works to deconstruct these claims and mount robust defences.

4. Medical and Healthcare Professionals

These may involve claims against doctors for negligent medical treatment or advice, healthcare management, consultancy, or administrative errors. Claims are also brought against hospitals for errors made or if there is an allegation of vicarious liability for something an independent doctor or surgeon may have done.

5. IT and Technology Professionals

In today’s digital world, IT consultants and software developers are exposed to claims alleging data breaches, system failures, or project mismanagement. We offer a nuanced approach to defending claims in this rapidly evolving sector.

6. Real Estate Professionals

Estate agents, property managers, and chartered surveyors can face claims related to property valuations, leasing agreements, or project oversight.
