Main Risks for Freelancers

The Biggest Risk for Freelancers - Financial Losses

The main risks for freelancers in the IT, media or consulting industry in Lithuania. are so-called financial losses. A financial loss occurs when a third party, for example your client, suffers a financial disadvantage due to professional mistakes. Almost 80 % of the damage claims reported to exali number among these.

From Server Breakdowns to Legal Infringements

One example for this is a loss of sales by your client due to a faulty server update that paralyses the online shop and for which your are held responsible. However, financial losses can also include consulting and planning errors, project delays and warnings due to legal infringements (e.g. competition law, image law, copyright law, etc.). Even if you unintentionally passed on a virus to your client's systems that caused damage would be a financial loss exali's Professional Indemnity Insurance would cover.

 

Violation of Trademark Rights

You are supposed to create a new logo for a Lithuanian company. After the logo has been used for a few months, the lawyer of a competing company contacts you with a warning and a claim for damages. The logo allegedly infringes the trademark rights of the lawyer's client. Your client has to pay the claim for damages and also sign a cease-and-desist declaration. The costs incurred will be reclaimed from you. In addition, the logo must be adapted to prevent further infringements.

Consultation Error in energy savings

You conduct an analysis for a company in Vilnius in order to uncover opportunities for savings. After your analysis, you come to the conclusion that there is potential for savings by switching to energy-saving ceiling lamps. You present your recommended measures and how much money could be saved by implementing them. Unfortunately, the savings turn out to be less than calculated because you made a mistake in the calculation. The company from Lithuania demands compensation from you.

Faulty Server Update

You are to carry out a server uptade during a maintenance appointment for a client in Vilnius. Unfortunately the server update is faulty and causes your client's entire IT system to break down. You are able to fix the error within a day, but your client's 15 employees are unable to work during that time. You are held liable for this financial loss. The insurer covers these costs of this damage.

Personal Injury by Cable

You are to set up new workstations in the open-plan office of a company from Vilnius. You connect the hardware and set up the work surface. An employee comes in, trips over a cable and injures herself. You have to compensate for the injured person's medical treatment and loss of earnings. The costs of this personal injury are covered by the General Liability Insurance.

Reviews for exali.com

 
 
[...] We were looking around for general liability insurance last week and were so unsure of ourselves that we ended up with the old “bog standard insurance”, poring over 92-page PDFs and dealing with completely clueless insurance agents. We’d pretty much given up until Google led us to exali [...]
Suddenly, everything was a breeze. The follow-up call with their customer service team, in particular, helped us get a clearer picture and it was a breath of fresh air talking to somebody who, first of all, understands our industry and knows the insurance jungle, and on top of that can explain everything to us in simple terms. Fantastic. 20 minutes later we had all the insurance we needed and left feeling good. Crazy. Thank you so much!

Excellent service! I insured an SaaS IT online start-up. At Exali, no expense or effort is spared when it comes to advising even small IT companies and start-ups so comprehensively that - even for critical types like myself - they really don’t let any question go unanswered. It didn't matter that I was just a prospective client and not yet a paying customer.
I had a consultation with Mr Leichter who spent almost an hour patiently and very competently dispelling all my concerns that a non-lawyer might have after reading through the extensive contract documents. My impression: for me as a start-up, the service you get with the Professional Indemnity Insurance for Digital Professions doesn’t compare, and I’ve rarely been looked after so well.

Dear Mr Galla, Being able to rely on your insurance in case of damages is truly wonderful. My experience in this area had not been all that good to this point.
But exali showed me that not all insurance companies are like that. I will definitely recommend this insurance product to others.
