Public Liability Insurance

What is Public Liability Insurance?

It is important that you take out Public Liability Insurance as a business in the UK. There are different types of liability insurance cover available – but essentially, liability insurance covers and protects you and your business against a person taking legal action against you.

Public Liability Insurance is essential if your company comes into contact with customers, clients, and even members of the public. Whether this is at your own office or off-site – liability insurance is essential if you want to be protected.

What does Public Liability Insurance cover?

Public Liability Insurance covers awards and damages that are given to a claimant. This may be from someone injuring themselves or damaging their property and holding you responsible.

If legal liability is found as your responsibility – then compensation may be given to the claimant. This may incur a large amount of costs, including legal fees, compensation, hospital treatment and ambulance costs, etc.

Public Liability insurance is designed to protect your business against such costs.

The Law…

Unlike some employers’ liability insurance – public liability insurance is not compulsory. Some businesses will also find that many of their clients require proof of adequate insurance before they will allow you to work for them.
