Hello, does anyone know of a good insurance provider in Zug who offers Professional Indemnity Insurance & Public Liability Insurance? assistance and contact details will be appreciated, thanks

Experience of colleagues who looked for this cover is it is impossible to get in Switzerland at reasonable prices.
There are only a couple of companies who offer this cover but not an individual basis - just for largish companies. Unlike USA where you can buy such cover everywhere.


Do you really need such cover & what for? Most Swiss people have personal liability insurance which covers most of what is usually needed.
You may also be able to negotiate a fixed penalty with your customer rather than an open unlimited insurance liability, say 10% of contract value.

Just like to say that I found that Zurich were really great for individual PI insurance

http://www.zurich.co.uk/professional...troduction.htm

I am a research consultant (just starting...) and the Univiersity I will consult for in the UK requires that I have PI insurance. I got a quote for over 1000 GBP a year from a broker in the UK because I am not domiciled in the UK and other companies I tried did not even return my emails.

So I filled out the inquiry form on the Zurich website and they got right back to me. The policy is in German, but the guy was really helpful in explaining all the terms and finding the best policy for me... at around 200 CHF a year (it seems this rate depends on the nature of the work etc.). It was all sorted in an hour or so. If anyone needs his contact details because they are having issues, PM me. He even followed up with emails and he has me thinking that some insurance agents are really nice .... of course I'm buying, not trying to claim...

Thanks for this

Yes, we deal with this sort of thing all the time and it is actually quite simple.

Our new devision has recently been set up purely for the english speaking and expat community here. Was the GCI the German document you received? Depending on the exact policy I most likely have an English version I can send you, if not, I'd like to know as it is one we will have to get translated and re-printed.

Best,
David.

Well, good service deserves praise!

I've sent you a PM regarding the policy document.

Thanks

I would like to purchase personal indemnity insurance, too. However, the link offered here is for UK-based Zurich plc. Does anyone know of an insurance company (Zurich plc or otherwise) who offer this? Thanks!
