How it works?
Examples of Engineering Consultant Insurance in action
Don’t lose your business too
An engineering professional was working on a major project away from home and travelling to and from the site by train every day. Unfortunately, he managed to lose a number of vital documents on his journey one morning. This caused a major delay to the project and a possible breach of confidentiality. When the client decided to proceed with legal action, the Professional Indemnity Insurance that the engineer held was there to cover the costs of defending the case.
