Why do I need annual cover if I have a short-term contract?
It is recommended that you take out PI insurance even if your contract only lasts for a short period of time. Even if your insurance only ran for the duration of your contract, if a claim was made against you any time after, you would not be covered.
This is why you should consider taking out an annual policy as this can provide reassurance that you will be protected indefinitely.
