Professional Saver Liability Insurance for Language Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a language consultant, having the right insurance is crucial to protect your business if clients pursue legal claims over errors, delays, poor advice, or failures in translation work and linguistic services, leading to financial losses.

Our policies shield language professionals like translators, interpreters, copywriters, transcriptionists, proofreaders, and teachers against negligence allegations through comprehensive public liability, professional indemnity, and legal expense covers.

Why Do Language Consultants Require Insurance?

Language services enable communication, commerce, legal compliance, and trade across geographies. Errors could negatively impact business transactions, damage reputations, breach privacy, or cause emotional distress.

Even minor linguistic oversights in areas like product instructions could trigger substantial injury claims. In addition, lost income from delays can generate significant financial demands. Our specialist insurance covers resulting legal and compensation costs.

FAQs

Language Consultants Insurance FAQs

Language consultants need insurance because flawed translations or advice can negatively impact sensitive communications, transactions, and legal compliance. This leaves them vulnerable to professional negligence claims from aggrieved clients, which could cripple them financially without adequate cover.

We would cover scenarios like:

  • Inaccurate medical translations used for patient instructions triggering injury claims
  • Confidential deal documents leaked publicly due to poor information security
  • Inadequate proofreading of manuals missing safety issues leading to injuries
  • Terminology confusion in legal contracts resulting in financial losses

We cover claims stemming from any standard language consultancy activities. This means we cover written and spoken translation, transcription, tutoring, proofreading, and linguistic consulting services spanning all global languages. This includes rare dialects.

Yes – our policies extend to cover any freelance linguists, translators, and consultants conducting work for clients under your business name. So if, for example, a German translator you subcontract makes mistakes in automotive manuals leading to vehicle damage, you benefit from protection against financial claims.
