You are accountable for any advice you give on processes and software, any work you do, and anything you may accidentally forget to do for your clients. Should they feel that you have been negligent or have caused their business damage in any way, they may place a claim against you. That is why it’s important to ensure that your Computer Programmers Insurance policy protects you during all circumstances.
The Insurance Octopus can support you in putting together a bespoke business insurance policy that includes Professional Indemnity Insurance and other key covers, providing you with a truly flexible policy.

Professional Indemnity Insurance for computer programmers
Professional Indemnity Insurance is a key element of cover to ensure you stay protected if mistakes are made or have been claimed to have been made. PI insurance will help to cover you and/or your business against any financial or trading loss that may be caused as a result of work that you have done. Professional Indemnity Cover limits are available from £50,000 to £10m.
Employers’ Liability Insurance Cover

Public Liability Cover
Public Liability Cover protects you if a customer or a member of the public is injured, or their property is damaged. Public liability Insurance protects you against the cost of repairs or any legal proceedings that could be filed against you. Standard levels of cover are available from £1m to £5m, with additional levels of cover available upon request and subject to insurer’s terms and conditions.

Cover to protect your business from the costs of defending claims.
Associated Claims
Associated Claims Costs can cover you if a claim needs to be investigated further or if there is a requirement to bring in expert witnesses in a court hearing. Additional costs associated with a claim that you would not normally have to pay.
