TRANSLATORS INSURANCE: Being Sued Is No Fun In Any Language

As a translator, you don’t need to be told that words and phrases can be very powerful tools. So powerful, that using the wrong ones can have serious consequences.

That’s why you should consider having translators insurance.

No slur on your professionalism is intended here. Of course you work with the utmost diligence. But unintended nuance and ambiguity can creep into any translation and lead to misunderstandings. And, if we’re truthful, we have to admit that we are all of us capable of making honest mistakes from time to time.

Sometimes they may not matter too much. But there could be situations in which only translator insurance will stand between you and financial disaster.

Imagine errors in the translation of some medical guidelines or a complex technical manual. The result could be serious injury or accident. Or uncertainties in the translation of a legal contract. The result could be substantial financial loss for one party or another.

In situations such as these, there will be a search for someone to blame. And, in our increasingly litigious age, someone to sue.

That someone could very well be you.

Even if you have the stoutest of defences, you could still find yourself having to finance some very costly legal help. And if the case goes against you, you could find yourself liable for an even more costly compensation payment. Without the cover of a translation insurance policy, where would that leave you?

Professional indemnity insurance for translators needn’t be anything like as expensive as you might think. Certainly not when you consider the peace of mind it can bring. To find out more, call 01480 470220 or email info@coulsonpritchard.com.
