The ADI claimed on his insurance for
the damage to his car and to the van –
but that’s not the end of the matter. The
pupil decided that she wanted
compensation, even though it was her
actions that led to the crash. She sued
the ADI, claiming his standard of tuition
in this incident wasn’t up to scratch, and
he should have made sure she didn’t turn
on to the A-road.
Even worse, she has a solicitor on
hand who is happy to work on a no-win,
no-fee basis.
What did the ADI do next?
As a member of the MSA GB, he
enacted the free professional indemnity
cover that comes as part of membership.
It protects you for up to £5 million of
legal costs and damages. It was going to
be a trying experience but at least he was
financially covered.
What would have happened if he hadn’t
of been a member?
If you are not a member of the MSA...
and you haven’t arranged personal
indemnity cover, your options are far
Just a word to say thanks...
How MSA GB works for its members
‘Your support
during lockdowns
has been vital...’
Thank you so much for your lovely
email and good luck to yourself.
Many many thanks for all your
hard work and support, especially
throughout lockdown, it
made these tough
times so much
easier.
All the best,
keep safe,
Kerry.
Thanks,
MSA GB!
more limited – and worrying. Either you
prepare to admit liability and write a
sizeable cheque out for damages, or fight
the claim.
That means paying for a solicitor to
take the case on your behalf, possibly by
counter-suing the pupil for negligence.
This will be costly, stressful, timeconsuming
and, obviously, comes with no
guarantee of success.
At the end of the fight you either win
but lose thousands in fees, or lose, pay
the fees and write a sizeable cheque for
damages.
This isn’t a made-up case. It’s a real,
documented situation. It happened to a
member of MSA GB in the past couple of
years. Would you rather be a member
and have the peace of mind that that
gives you – or not?
That’s the peace of mind and
protection that professional indemnity
insurance can bring.
Professional indemnity insurance can
be costly – but if you’re a member of the
MSA it’s included in your membership for
free.
So next time someone asks, ‘why did
you join the MSA’, just remember three
words. Professional - Indemnity -
Insurance.
