What is it?
Your firm may be growing (congratulations), or you are increasingly bidding on projects whose gross value exceeds your mandatory annual practice insurance limits and need additional coverage.
Pro-Demnity offers you additional coverage above the $1 million per claim level up to $40 million in aggregate, regardless of your firm’s revenues, when approved by Pro-Demnity. You are the experts in your profession, we are experts in protecting it.
When should a firm use it?
As your firm grows, you may find you are regularly bidding on projects and therefore frequently applying for Spike up coverage in order to meet the RFP’s insurance coverage criteria. By having increased limits, you avoid the time required to apply for Spike up as one-offs. You may also find that it is more efficient and less disruptive to have additional coverage when you are involved in an RFP. You have better things to focus on.
What does it cover?
It covers Damages, Defense and Supplementary payments at higher claim limits than the mandatory levels.
Additionally, we offer customizable coverage levels that aren’t limited by the number of individual projects and claims. This means there’s even greater flexibility and you can take on more projects with higher claim limits. We know no project is the same.
Finally, consolidating your excess coverage with Pro-Demnity means seamless, efficient and professional claims handling that will save you aggravation, time and money in the event of a claim.
How do I Increase my Limits for Professional Liability Insurance?
Increased limits above the required mandatory limits are available within the liability insurance policy. You may increase your practice’s limits at any time during your policy period. Simply provide the Underwriting Department with written instructions on the preferred limits for your practice. Pro-Demnity Underwriters will provide you with a quote upon request, and you can always call the Underwriting Department for further instructions. An increase in limits is subject to underwriters’ approval.
When determining your preferred limits, factors for your consideration as a Practice holder include the size of projects the firm is pursuing, or the number of projects being undertaken.
