Do I need professional liability insurance?

It is in the interests of most professionals to carry liability insurance, protecting them against claims arising from negligence, etc. For an ergonomist or human factors professional, this might happen if someone was injured as a result of bad advice, for example.

Although employees are often covered by their employer's insurance, ergonomists practising independently usually need to make their own arrangements.
