Why Does a Translator and Interpreter Need Insurance?

Translators and interpreters work in high-stakes settings where one word can affect legal, medical, or business outcomes. Even accurate work can lead to claims of missed deadlines or losses. Many assignments are on-site, exposing you to injury, property damage, or data-handling claims. Insurance helps cover defense costs and meet client contract requirements.

What Does Translator and Interpreter Insurance Cover?

Translator and interpreter insurance combines professional and general liability. It covers claims of errors or missed deliverables, as well as on-site injuries or property damage. Coverage can also include equipment and data privacy, based on how you work.

A translation mistake triggers a financial loss claim

You translate product instructions for a manufacturer and the client later alleges a key safety warning was unclear in the target language. They claim the revision costs and delays caused lost revenue and demand reimbursement. Professional liability can help cover defense costs and a settlement if owed.

An on-site interpreting job turns into a liability incident

While interpreting at a client office, you bump a display and damage a computer monitor. Or a visitor trips near your setup and alleges you created a hazard. General liability can help pay for property damage or injury claims.

Confidential files are exposed or stolen

Your laptop with client contracts is stolen from your car, or you accidentally send a translated legal document to the wrong email address. A cyber or privacy-related policy can help with notification costs, response services, and certain legal expenses.

Translator and Interpreter Insurance Made Simple

Everything you need to know about protecting your business, from coverage basics to real-world scenarios.

Is professional liability insurance the same as general liability for translators and interpreters?

No. General liability is mainly about third-party bodily injury and property damage, like an accident at a client site. Professional liability is about your work product and services, like a client claiming a translation error, a misinterpretation, or a missed deadline caused them financial loss. Many translators and interpreters carry both because the risks are different and contracts often expect it.
