Preview wording, not yet broker-reviewed. General information, not advice.\n\nSite label: Usually asked for in client contracts.\n\n## Why you need it: your clients\n\nGovernment agencies, courts, hospitals and language service agencies often ask for PI in their contracts or panel terms. Each one sets its own limit, so check the contract.\n\n## Typical limits\n\n$1m to $2m is typical. Government panels and legal or health work can ask for more.\n\n## What can go wrong\n\nIllustrative scenarios, not real claims.\n\n### A contract translated with an error\n\nA clause in a contract you translated reverses a payment term. The client relies on it and claims the money it lost.\n\n### An interpreting error at a hearing\n\nAn error you make at a tribunal hearing means the matter is adjourned. The client claims the extra legal costs.\n\n## Common exclusions to watch\n- Bodily injury, unless the policy includes it\n- Work in languages or settings you did not declare\n- Disputes about your fees\n\nWording differs between policies. Read the policy wording, or ask us to point out what it says.\n\n## Common questions\n\n### Do translators and interpreters need professional indemnity insurance?\n\nGovernment agencies, courts, hospitals and language service agencies often ask for PI in their contracts or panel terms. Each one sets its own limit, so check the contract.\n\n### How much PI cover do translators and interpreters need?\n\n$1m to $2m is typical. Government panels and legal or health work can ask for more.","capturedAt":"2026-11-10T01:01:16.013Z","createdAt":"2026-11-10T01:01:16.013Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-10T01:01:16.013Z","spanId":null,"contributor":null,"audiences":[{"kind":"public","createdAt":"2026-11-10T01:23:58.372Z"}],"fingerprint":"aebfe8e38888667c066b5c2ab26384f358c241916cac69fbad9489a49a1527fc","revisionNo":"1","structureHash":"10a45813adc654160de9bd0b1fc74ed417ad75bf5fa10e2384474b6417b0241e","page":"https://lattris.com/by/2/memories/54649d46-f804-4e35-bfe6-e4ab401050c7"},"links":[{"direction":"out","verb":"references","reason":"Follow when the person's work is closer to the page for project managers, or they do both: its limits, examples and exclusions.","hash":"f254562e3b2483b23816cbb0f85b2f0c51fa1e83e0ca95a72d664f41ef9a0e72","node":{"id":"0bc44ef3-2a46-483f-b185-cc1a1bb16ab7","handle":"0bc4","type":"note","title":"PI insurance for project managers (piinsurance.com.au/project-managers/)","aiSummary":null,"erased":false,"href":"https://lattris.com/api/lattris/by/2/memories/0bc44ef3-2a46-483f-b185-cc1a1bb16ab7?links=1","fingerprint":"c898a7a7f6162b391871a7fef103085468788971573d166bff3217048d73076f","revisionNo":"1","structureHash":"55a84eef4da7050faf3ec2cf9ac34b66e01bae299850f5481c1733fc409210f9","intent":"learning","authorName":"PI Insurance","page":"https://lattris.com/by/2/memories/0bc44ef3-2a46-483f-b185-cc1a1bb16ab7"}},{"direction":"out","verb":"references","reason":"Follow when the person's work is closer to the page for HR consultants, or they do both: its limits, examples and exclusions.","hash":"e583dd544d2d65cb13153bddf593a8e0cc7a5b29c532c1f58f8619487a46bb3c","node":{"id":"2cd5f16b-6394-4e4f-b4e1-e4807e92651d","handle":"2cd5","type":"note","title":"PI insurance for HR consultants (piinsurance.com.au/hr-consultants/)","aiSummary":null,"erased":false,"href":"https://lattris.com/api/lattris/by/2/memories/2cd5f16b-6394-4e4f-b4e1-e4807e92651d?links=1","fingerprint":"c3935627b64c9f4888b7bd615bf822b51e2b72b1800ae7d94fcabb08a5905d76","revisionNo":"1","structureHash":"00433400119e33043ed3e44e15a7e73a92d57fd15e2f9709423ac92df0b6b75b","intent":"learning","authorName":"PI Insurance","page":"https://lattris.com/by/2/memories/2cd5f16b-6394-4e4f-b4e1-e4807e92651d"}},{"direction":"out","verb":"references","reason":"Follow when the person's client has complained or threatened to sue.","hash":"05dff04a4bba981b5af8080cd36ed0f03bf32da89de1633853354c7f693fbf1e","node":{"id":"336d6f2e-1926-4df6-9677-aba43b727b49","handle":"336d","type":"note","title":"A client is threatening to sue.
