Sign language interpreter insurance protects translation professionals who bridge the communication gap between spoken and signed languages, ensuring full access and understanding for all.
As a practitioner facilitating important conversations, interpreters might be vulnerable to:
Coverage provides interpreters with the security of knowing that disputed judgment calls or occasional misinterpretations won’t jeopardise their reputation as facilitators of clear communication for the deaf community. It defends against potentially career-threatening complaints in a profession centred on inclusion through clear communication.
Your job provides a critical communication service but involves close interaction with hard-of-hearing clients who rely on your interpreting skills. Any mistakes in your interpretation or advice could lead to serious miscommunication with significant consequences. For example:
Without adequate insurance, claims resulting from your professional interpreting or advisory services – however accidental – could leave you facing weighty legal costs and compensation pay-outs. Our specialist interpreter insurance shields you from this burden, ensuring any public liability or professional negligence claims are taken care of, guaranteeing your peace of mind.
Our comprehensive sign language interpreter policies can include:
Public liability covers any injury to clients or damage to their property caused while working on interpreting assignments. For example, a hearing-impaired customer sustains an injury from tripping over your heavy equipment bag during a session and makes a claim for damages.
Legal expenses insurance covers your legal costs and expert representation if you face civil claims from clients alleging professional negligence regarding your interpreting services. This insurance acts as your defence against potentially crippling financial demands.
This optional cover safeguards you against claims of client losses arising from errors in your interpretation services. For instance, a mistranslated explanation of rights during an immigration hearing leads to citizenship denial for your client. Our insurance would protect you from resulting compensation claims for lost opportunities or income.
Our sign language interpreter insurance policies can also cover any freelance, self-employed, or contractor interpreters who conduct assignments under your business name. This ensures adequate protection for these external interpreting professionals who rely on clear communication.
