Other Types of Business

Below we give you most of the salient types of cover we can arrange- a number of these are discussed elsewhere on our website.  Whilst we specialise in Health etc, we arrange cover for many other types of business and individual clients!

Clinical Trials

Malpractic cover where ther is no need to prove negligence- written on a claims made basis

Employment Agencies

Property Owners of all Types

Hotels and Guest Houses

Offices

All types of administration Offices  can be covered at very reasonable premiums

Errors and Omissions (E & O)

Also known as Professional Indemnity (PI) - we can cover all kinds of professionals and consultants

Usually qualifications are required.  This may be waived in individual circumstances.

A professional person who gives advice can be held legally liable if a court of law decides that he/she has not acted with due care.  What is reasonable or what a reasonable person with the appropriate degree of training and competence would have done in a situation is the measure.  To prove this point an expert witness may be called in. E and O is not Medical malpractice – it only covers things like pure Financial Loss, Breach of Confidentiality and Libel or Slander if the client is accused of such things – it won't pay for client t pursue a claim against someone who is libelling them for example. A qualified therapist or consultant advising businesses or other professionals but not treating someone would need this cover – obvious examples would be accountants, solicitors, health advisors, all types of consultants.

Professionals of All Types

A typical basic programme should include these things:

• PI
• Office Contents
• Personal Protection e.g. Personal Accident and Sickness or refer to Life Department for Life cover and advice

Directors and Officers (D & O) for all types of Companies
