How does insurance for translators work?
Simple cover, in plain English to protect you and your business
As a translator, your clients will rely on you for your skills, expertise, and knowledge of language. Even with years of experience, you could still make even the tiniest of errors in translation that could costs one of your client’s money. Should this happen, they may choose to place a claim against you for compensation which could cause substantial financial loss of earnings for your business should you not have adequate cover in place.
Through The Insurance Octopus, you will be able to put together a bespoke Translators Insurance policy that includes Professional Indemnity cover to ensure that you are protected whatever may arise. We source business insurance policies are designed to be flexible, giving you the option to add or remove optional covers you may require – providing all of the essential protection in one simple insurance policy.
What a Translators Insurance policy includes
Professional Indemnity cover for translators
Professional Indemnity insurance is a key element of cover which helps to protect you against risks such as negligence by making a mistake in your work, defamation or breach of data, among others. PI insurance will protect you and/or your business against any financial or trading loss that may be caused. Professional Indemnity cover limits are available from £50,000 to £10m.
Cover for legal expenses
Legal Expenses insurance can help cover the cost of legal representation which can be expensive if you do not have cover.
Associated Claims
Associated Claims Costs can cover you if a claim needs to be investigated further or there is a need bring in expert witnesses in a court hearing. Additional costs associated with a claim that you would not normally have to pay.
Employers’ Liability insurance cover
Employers Liability insurance cover is required by law if you have one or more employees. Standard Employers Liability cover is £10m and will protect you as the employer against claims from your staff should they be injured or become ill because of the work they do for you.
Public Liability cover
Public Liability cover protects you if a customers 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 insurers terms and conditions.

Why you need Translators Insurance
Your business as a translator or interpreter is built on a foundation of trust and a professional service, which is what your clients will expect from you when they request your language skills and expertise. Unfortunately, mistakes can happen, and if a client of yours believes that a mistake you have made has cost them money, or accuses you of not providing the level of skills and service you promised, then they could make a legal claim against you.
The potential cost to any business in the face of a claim can be high as there are often legal expenses to consider and then compensation costs to pay if a claim against you is successful, both of which could be financially detrimental to your business. The Insurance Octopus works with a wide selection of UK insurers who provide the best choice of PI insurance to ensure you have the cover you need to keep your business operating without worry. It couldn’t be easier to get the cover you need at the right price.
