Consulting Engineers Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional indemnity insurance indemnifies you from the legal liability and legal defence costs you may incur as a result of breaching a duty of care to your clients.

There are many different kinds of Engineers, covering the different areas within the design industry and also the construction industry. Engineering broadly covers any kind of work which finds a solution to problems/allows the completion of tasks or has to do with the design and specification of a product.

This section would include, but not be limited to - Civil Engineers; Structural Engineers; Geotechnical Engineers; Soil and Foundation Engineers; Mechanical Engineers; Electrical Engineers; Electronics Engineers; Heating & Ventilating Engineers. There are overlaps sometimes and architectural consultancy, surveying (structural/quantity etc) town planning or even valuations can be seen on an engineer’s proposal.

There are many associated professional bodies, however no compulsory requirement to buy professional indemnity insurance. Engineers however recognise that that if they are found to be legally liable, by way of any negligent act error or omission to undertake duties, leading to a financial loss to a client, this could lead to a claim. Sensibly, they choose to insure and are offered a miscellaneous ‘neglect, error or omission’ policy or sometimes the wider ‘civil liability’ wording.
