I hope that this is not impertinent, but I am desperately seeking a Professional Indemnity Insurance policy that is tailored to the needs of a translator / language specialist. I have thus far received quotations from well-known insurance brokers, altough I believe these to be excessive due to the fact that the risks relating to translation are not understood. I would appreciate it if anyone could offer me any advice or leads in this respect. N.B. I am based in the U.K. Many thanks.

Have a lovely day,
Dawn.

Dear Dawn,
If you have a business (as opposed to personal) banking account it might be worth contacting your business banking advisor for advice. In my case (HSBC) they could arrange indemnity insurance with a specialist broker. You would obviously need to check if their T&Cs met your needs, of course.
HTH, Ronnie

Dear Ronnie,
it just so happens that I also bank with the HSBC (have a business account), and they also offered me insurance, although I am not aware that it was via a specialist broker, rather from the HSBC and underwritten by a company called Hiscox. I was told that the premiums I had been offered seemed quite high - I was offered both a Gold and Silver option. However, if it is the case that this is what you were also offered, than I guess it is somewhat reassuring given that you... See more Dear Ronnie,
it just so happens that I also bank with the HSBC (have a business account), and they also offered me insurance, although I am not aware that it was via a specialist broker, rather from the HSBC and underwritten by a company called Hiscox. I was told that the premiums I had been offered seemed quite high - I was offered both a Gold and Silver option. However, if it is the case that this is what you were also offered, than I guess it is somewhat reassuring given that you are a professional translator and appear to be satisfied with the quality of cover offered. Would you recommend this, then?
Many thanks,
Dawn. ▲ Collapse
