Professional indemnity insurance can include cover for the cost of defending allegations of professional negligence that turn out to be groundless. Professional indemnity insurance can include cover for the cost of defending allegations of professional negligence that turn out to be groundless. All practices and public sector departments registered with the Landscape Institute are required to carry professional indemnity insurance and to produce evidence that cover is held. In an increasingly litigious world, professional practitioners are advised to give careful consideration to ensuring they are adequately protected by professional indemnity insurance before they begin practising. Many major insurance companies offer professional indemnity insurance and specialist brokers, working with professional associations, often tailor cover to the needs of particular professions. McParland Finn Ltd is one such specialist broker which, endorsed by the Landscape Institute, offers a broad range of insurance broking and risk management services to landscape professionals under the banner of Landscape Institute Insurance Services.
