In today’s financial climate, where businesses are being forced to protect their balance sheets in an increasingly litigious environment, the role of Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance to the professional services industry is extremely important. As a consulting engineer PI insurance is a valuable defence against financial loss caused by third party claims; which even the most prudent of firms can find themselves defending against.
