What does Freelancer Insurance cover?

Both general liability insurance and professional liability insurance are included in the consultant and freelancer’s policy. General liability insurance arranged by Thimble is designed to protect freelancers against accidents on the job that result in bodily injury, property damage, personal or advertising injury to a third party. General liability insurance also covers legal fees and medical coverage associated with the claim. Professional liability insurance protects freelancers and consultants against claims of errors and omissions – or claims relating to inadequate performance of professional services. If a client claims that you’ve done your job improperly, your professional indemnity insurance policy can be used to cover any associated costs.

Injury

Third-party, non-employee bodily injury

A client is discussing the details of a project in your office. When the client is leaving, he trips over your laptop bag. He falls and injures his wrist.

Property Damage Icon

Third-party property damage

You are in a client’s home to photograph their baby shower, and you damage an expensive piece of artwork on the wall while trying to find the perfect angle.

Defense

Defense costs

A client claims that a spill on his coffee table was left by you after a recent house sitting gig. It ruined the finish, and he takes you to court to recoup the value of the table. General liability insurance helps cover the costs of defending yourself against this claim.

Errors

Errors and omissions

You are a marketing consultant, and advise a client on the development of an advertising campaign to promote their new product. The campaign misrepresents the key features of the product, leading to customer confusion and financial loss for the company.

Not yet. Cyber insurance or cyber liability insurance protects businesses from internet-based risks and risks related to information technology infrastructure. This is a separate category of coverage and is not included under the general liability insurance or professional liability insurance for freelance workers arranged by Thimble.

Are there other types of insurance I should get?

As an independent contractor, General liability insurance and professional liability insurance will cover you for a range of risks that you face in your interactions with clients or customers. Many companies may ask to be added as an Additional Insured to your policy so that they are covered for any damage you may cause within the scope of work you provide to them.

Depending on the structure of your business, you may opt for a number of other types of insurance: for example, worker’s compensation, auto insurance, or cyber liability insurance.
