UK Insurance Law Episode 31: Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance

In this episode, we explore Professional Indemnity (PI) and Public Liability (PL) Insurance, two essential forms of coverage in the UK aimed at protecting professionals and businesses from specific risks. We begin with PI Insurance, which safeguards against claims arising from professional negligence, errors, or omissions, addressing its typical coverage, limits, and exclusions, especially within sectors like healthcare, finance, and consulting. Moving to PL Insurance, we examine how it provides protection against claims of bodily injury or property damage suffered by third parties on business premises or due to business operations. The episode also highlights regulatory requirements, recent case law, and the distinct coverage challenges that arise in claims related to each type of insurance.
