The Structural Engineer’s Nightmare: From Pride to Panic
I still remember how excited I was when I got the contract to design the structure for that beautiful, landed private residential house. It was my dream project, the kind that could define my career. But halfway through construction, things started to go horribly wrong. The house wasn’t structurally sound, and they had to stop everything. I can’t even describe how it felt when they told me they needed to demolish what had already been built.

​

The client filed a lawsuit against me for the losses and the errors I had made. That’s when my professional indemnity insurance was triggered. I’ve heard stories about the importance of PI insurance for situations like this, especially for architects and engineers, but it was never something I thought I’d need. Now, I can’t stop thinking.

The Real Estate Agent’s Guilt: A Dream Home Turned Nightmare

I’ve always prided myself on helping people find their dream homes. That’s why I was so excited when I helped this young couple secure a gorgeous property. It had everything—great location, beautiful layout—what could go wrong? Well, a lot, as it turns out. After the sale, they discovered major structural issues that no one had noticed.

​

They were heartbroken, and honestly, so was I. They filed a claim against me, and although I had professional indemnity insurance, it didn’t take away the guilt I felt. I had let them down. It made me realize how important it is to have coverage, like professional indemnity insurance for real estate agents, especially when you’re responsible for something as personal as someone’s home. I never thought I’d need it, but now, it feels like a lifeline.

The IT Consultant's Oversight: A Personal Reflection

You know how, sometimes, you think you’ve nailed something, only to realize later that you missed something huge? That’s exactly what happened to me. I had been hired to create an accounting system for a growing business—big opportunity, right? But in my eagerness, I overlooked a couple of critical things. When the company started using it, everything fell apart. They lost financial data, and the system I built wasn’t working.

 

That’s when they filed a claim, and it hit me—I could have been more thorough. I started wondering if maybe I should have been more specific in protecting myself too, like having professional indemnity insurance for IT contractors. You never think it’ll be you, until it is. Now, I’m just hoping to fix this mess and make sure I never get caught off guard like this again.
