Financial Loss Liability Insurance in Slovenia

Financial loss liability insurance exali.com

The self-employed, freelancers and service providers in Slovenia have one thing in common, regardless of whether they “only” advise on projects or also implement them: Even a small mistake in their business can have fatal financial consequences.

Taking out financial loss liability insurance is recommended – and in some cases mandatory – for many groups of professionals as a way of safeguarding their existence in the event of expensive claims for compensation from third parties. It is crucial that this type of professional indemnity insurance insures pure financial losses, whereby the amount of coverage or the sum insured can be selected individually when taking out the policy. Since financial losses are one of the most common types of damage in Slovenia in the digital age, exali.com specialised in financial loss liability insurance for IT service providers, agencies and many other service professions over 10 years ago.

 

 

What is Financial Loss Liability Insurance in Slovenia?

Financial loss liability covers all persons and companies who may cause financial or intangible damage – i.e. financial losses – to a third party (e.g. customer or client) in the course of their professional activity. Slovenian freelancers and the self-employed are often affected due to consulting errors, planning errors, programming errors, violations of rights and project delays. In private liability insurance, professional financial losses are generally excluded since private liability, as the name suggests, only insures private individuals. Damages caused while conducting a profession or trade and while working are not insured. With professional indemnity insurance from exali.com, financial loss liability is automatically included as basic protection. For comprehensive coverage, our basic protection also includes general liability insurance which additionally insures personal injuries and property damage.

What is a Pure Financial Loss?

Real or pure financial losses, as they are known in technical jargon, are losses that cause financial disadvantages for customers without being preceded by property damage or personal injury. That’s why pure financial losses are also sometimes referred to as intangible damages. Financial losses typically arise from consulting errors, programming errors, system failures, delays in the project and so on.

Examples of Pure Financial Losses Include:

  • an incorrect assessment by a business consultant
  • a programming bug that destroys a database
  • costs for written warnings from a competitor
  • hacking that leads to IT costs

Quick Facts on Financial Loss Liability in Slovenia

Financial Loss Liability Insurance – Who’s It For?

In the Slovenian IT, media and consulting industry, even small mistakes can cause major financial losses for a third party (customer or client). While financial loss liability insurance is not required by law (compulsory insurance) for every industry, it is one of the most important forms of insurance for freelancers and the self-employed from Slovenia. Indemnity insurance for financial losses insures the liability risks of the respective professional group, thereby safeguarding the existence of the freelancer.

Protection Against Professional Mistakes in Slovenia

In today’s complex, modern world of work, in the age of the internet, digitisation and services, professional mistakes happen quickly. Unlike in the past, however, even small mistakes in the digital world can have devastating effects that cause extensive damage. Freelancers and the self-employed from Slovenia are often liable to a greater extent than they suspect and, in the worst-case scenario, have to cover damages using their private assets. In these cases, liability arises mainly from legal regulations (e.g. law of obligations or data protection laws) and from contractual regulations such as terms and conditions or a project contract.

Protection in Case of Financial Losses

At exali.com, financial loss liability is part of our basic protection, meaning that real/pure financial losses are covered. Real or pure financial losses means purely financial damages that were not preceded by personal injury or property damage. The causes of real financial losses range from consulting, programming and planning errors, to project delays and violations of rights. According to an internal study by exali.com, financial losses account for up to 93% of all reported damage events across industries – so getting insurance for this is particularly relevant.
