Professional Indemnity Insurance Malaysia: Protect Your Professional Advice and Services
Professional indemnity insurance is relevant when clients rely on professional advice, design, calculations or services and an allegation could create financial loss.
Professional firms can face allegations even when a mistake was unintended. Defence costs, contractual requirements and alleged client loss all matter.
A consultancy may need to respond to an allegation before it is established whether the professional service caused the claimed loss.
