You need EL because as an employee you're a separate legal entity from your company.
I tend to go with AXA or Hiscox, their rates seem to change on a monthly basis though so there's no way of telling who'll be cheaper other than getting a quote - sometimes it's cheaper to get the PL/EL together with one carrier and then the PI with another; rather than buying all 3 from the same insurer.Comment

Originally posted by Project Monkey View PostWhy? In what scenario?
I guess personal injury claims too, if a sole director working as a roofer breaks their back and can't work any longer I can't imagine they'd be that bothered about claiming against their own policy.
We'll probably see a spate of claims in twenty years time from IT contractors for RSI, some with it worse than others.Comment

Seeking wisdom of the experienced
Originally posted by northernladuk View PostOP, bearing in mind nearly every contract has insurance it would be a fair bet that this has been asked a couple of thousand times so a quick search or a tiny bit of effort to do your research I am sure would have answered your question a lot quicker than that post.Comment

Originally posted by Butters View PostThanks for the suggestion. I wanted to find the quickest route to a definitive answer on all the questions I had, not each one peace meal. I was also trying to wade through the insurance quotes that I'd gathered at the time, reading pages and pages about exclusions, conditions etc (DRY), so thought the best use of my time was to seek the wisdom of the experienced and available. All being well, next time I have a question I'll feel more of an inclination to dig myself."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
