Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance is designed for businesses who interact with customers or members of the public.
It helps protect against claims of personal injury or property damage that a third party suffers (or claims to have suffered) as a result of your company’s operations.
In real terms, this means that if someone slips and falls on your business premises, or their property is damaged while you’re providing a service, they may take legal action against you or your business to recover their loss. Public liability insurance is designed to help protect your business depending on the policy you take out, covers incidents that occur in your workplace, as well as incidents at other locations.
Public liability insurance only covers claims made by external parties, not those made by your own employees. If you work with clients or customers, or in public spaces, it’s important to protect your business against claims of damage or injury. That’s why we often include public liability insurance in our industry-specific Business Insurance packages. These packages are tailored to meet the unique requirements of your industry. As well as public liability insurance, they may also include product liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance cover.
Who needs Public Liability Insurance?
Public liability insurance is recommended for any business that interacts in public places or has members of the public visit their premises (which includes any person that is not an employee). In every line of work, there’s always the potential for something to go wrong – and accidents do happen.
