What is public liability insurance?
Tailored insurance cover for when a customer or member of the public suffers a loss or injury because of your business
Public liability insurance covers your business in situations whereby a customer or member of the public has suffered property damage or personal injury because of your business. When potential customers enter your property a number of regulations and legislation’s apply. If damage or an accident were to occur while on your premises or while providing your service, a third party could potentially make a claim against your business.
These costs can of course be devastating for most businesses, meaning Public Liability cover can help protect and ensure your business remains open should a bad situation occur. If a customer were to fall and injure themselves on your premises, could your business readily afford to pay out for such a claim? Most businesses would struggle in such circumstances which is why having adequate public liability insurance with the right level of cover should therefore be at the top of your priority list as a business owner or manager. We are also able to provide cover if you Work Away, meaning you visit your client’s homes or business premises.
