Arrange suitable insurance policies as protection against claims
Insurance for flora and fauna professionals provides support by managing the repercussions of disputes with clients or a third party. It is not easy to study plants and the wildlife, especially the endangered kind. Weather and other external factors can also put your services at risk. Providing wrong advice or unsatisfactory reports can make you vulnerable to a legal claim. FD Beck in Australia can arrange a suitable insurance package to protect flora and fauna consultants from costly claims. With a team of insurance brokers here at FD Beck, you can get insights into risk assessment before acquiring a cover based on your requirements.

Insurance Coverage for Flora and Fauna Consultants

Working in an environment-sensitive field industry, these important insurance policies may help deal with possible claims.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Professional Indemnity insurance covers the legal fees and compensation payouts in case a client lodges a claim against you and your small business due to alleged negligence, omission, or error in your line of work. 

For example, you’re working on plant conservation guidelines for a nature park. But due to changes in weather, the environmental report you provide is rendered ineffective. The client may file a claim for profit loss and demand compensation, which you may be able to handle with professional indemnity insurance.

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance covers important claims of property damage and personal injury involving a third party.

Let’s say while doing environmental surveys in Australia, you accidentally damaged the property of a nearby land owner. 

If the third party demands compensation, you can notify your public liability and let them respond and deal with the demand.

Risk Exposures for Consultants and Small Business Owners

Even the most careful environmental consultants can still have an allegation made against them by a third party. So, protect yourself against the following risks:

  • Failure to implement appropriate programs for the conservation of flora and fauna
  • Failure to carry out the correct ecological surveys for your small and major projects
  • Failure to properly assess environmental liability leading to non-issuance of the appropriate certificate
  • Negligence of duty in managing the team working on the project
  • Managing other aspects of the project not required or authorised by the client
  • Failure to act in accordance with client's instructions
