Professional indemnity insurance provides engineers with the financial protection they need to defend them against any claims or lawsuits brought against them. This type of policy covers for legal fees, compensation costs, and other expenses associated with defending a claim. In the event that an engineer is found liable for a mistake or negligence during a project, professional indemnity insurance will ensure that they are not personally liable for the associated costs.
