The following list of definitions attempts to cover the more common insurance covers which are available in the Australian market. It is not an exhaustive list, as by its nature, insurance can cater to every aspect of the human experience. The only limitation is the availability in the market place to supply the product/policy/coverage. It should also be noted that the following products are not to be construed as representing the policies available from Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co.,Ltd.
Protects a professional (a person who provides advice and/or services according to an established discipline) from financial loss, injury or damage arising from a mistake or failure by the professional to exercise the required level of skill. The mistake need not be due to a negligent act. Professionals may include doctors, lawyers, architects, etc.
Protects the personal assets of directors and officers by providing indemnity for loss arising from a claim as a result of a ‘wrongful act’ committed by them in the course of performing their duties.
