I'd been a consultant, off late I've started working as a contractor independently. What are the types of insurance that I should look to get myself covered? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

One thing that comes to mind is 'Product liability'. You'd certainly need to get covered for claims arising out of it.

Under circumstances that someone meets with an injury caused by a defective product, you might face a claim. Also remember, that Product liability and professional indemnity are separate coverage, but there's a close link between them.

I guess we're missing out on legal expenses insurance. It would help you with funds for legal costs associated with claims that may be filed against your name.

Guess it really depends on what type of consultant you are, but here are some starting points (if an industry type fits): businessinsurancenow.com/by-industry.aspx techinsurance.com/blog/articles-by-it-profession/ More than likely though, you're looking at errors & omissions insurance and probably a BOP plan (business owner's policy w/ general liability, etc.) _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.
