專業彌償保險
專業彌償保險專門為專業人士而設的,這種保障是承擔專業行為及不當的失誤,其中包括提供不適當的意見。保障主要集中律師、醫生、護士、會計師、建築師、基金經理、基金受托人、保險經紀等。
專業彌償保險一般只就專業人士出現的錯誤或疏忽,而導致第三者受傷、遭受財產損失或損害、或遭受財務損失而承擔的法律責任。
保單還承保法律開支,即用於替被保人辯護或堅持拒絕第三者申索的法律開支,及申索成功的第三者的法律開支。保單通常設有一個總責任限額,適用於所有在保險期限内提出的申索。
但保障只適用被保人在正常情況出現的錯誤,一切出現不誠實、詐騙、刑事或惡意行為、一切不當行為導致及促成的法律責任都屬於一些不保事項。所以被保人必須確保索償原因是在正常程序中出現。
介紹 A person who specializes in particular skills and professes to exercise those skills in the affairs of others is bound to exercise the care and skill of ordinary competent practitioners in that profession. Failure to do so may result in liability claim or lawsuit alleging breach of professional duty. Professional Indemnity policy (PI) provides indemnity against such potential professional liability exposure. Our Principal Insurer offers PI to a wide range of professions such as lawyers, accountants, architects, engineers, surveyors, general medical practitioners, opticians, estate agents and etc. As liability is intangible in nature, a professional proposer would have to choose the limit of indemnity (sum insured) as he deems appropriate and necessary. Coverage To indemnify against insured's legal liability to compensate for loss sustained by third party as a result of negligent act, error or omission committed by insured in the course of conducting the profession. In addition to such compensation (damages), it also pays for legal costs and expenses in connection therewith. The limit of indemnity is inclusive of legal costs and expenses. Basis of Indemnity Our PI policy is on ''Claims Made'' basis. It means that PI policy will only cover claim made against insured during the policy period. ''Claim made'' means a written claim/demand issued or lawsuit instituted by third party seeking compensation for his loss. Third Party's Loss Covered PI policies for different professions cover different type of third party losses. Basically, as follows: General Medical Practitioners, Opticians - bodily injury (including death) only; Lawyers, Accountants, Quantity/Land Surveyors, Estate Agents - financial loss only; Architects, Engineers - financial loss, bodily injury (including death) and property damage. Retroactive Cover If policy states a retroactive date, it will only cover claims (made against insured during the policy period) resulting from negligent acts, errors or omissions committed by insured after such retroactive date. Retroactive date can be the policy inception date or a date way back in the past. However, no retroactive cover will be granted to a professional proposer who does not have PI cover previously.
