Avoid Those PI Claims In The First Place

No matter how good your professional indemnity insurancecover is, it’s still better to avoid someone making a claim against you in the first place. And Melinda Parisotti had some good advice to offer to consultants working in the construction industry recently. In her article posted on Building.co.uk, she told her readers never to forget the ‘3 Rs’ – reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic.

Always read the small print in every contract you sign. All manner of onerous conditions might be lurking there, any one of which could be enough to put you in default without you even necessarily realising it. And always write down (or, at least, record in some manner) everything you do and everything that happens. It could save you on the day.


Arithmetic? As Melinda pointed out, you’ll need to be good at it if the claims and the lawyers’ bills start arriving!
