As a proofreader, having the right insurance is crucial to protect you if errors or omissions in your work lead to losses for a client. Our professional indemnity insurance covers you against claims if your services directly cause financial harm.
For example, overlooking mistakes in a legal contract or academic paper that then gets published could make you liable for the resulting damages.
At Professional Saver, we offer insurance packages tailored for proofreaders working across sectors like legal services, academia, publishing, and more. Our policies protect you, your clients, and their stakeholders from the costly consequences of errors.
Proofreaders play a vital quality control role across many industries by ensuring documents are error-free before release.

Our advisors can explain these covers in more detail should you want further information.
