Protects your business against claims resulting from accidents or injuries that occur as result of your business activities, as well as damage to property owned or controlled by someone else which also occurs as result of your business activities.
Do I need Public Liability Insurance?
As a business owner you are accountable to third parties that come into contact with your business – including customers, suppliers and anyone else who may be involved with your business. If damage or an accident occurs while you’re carrying out your business, the impacted person may take legal action against your business, which can result in costly legal fees as well as the obligation to pay for the damage or injury you may have caused.
If you work with clients or customers, in public spaces, visit spaces owned or controlled by others, have visitors to your premises, or manufacture products; public liability insurance can assist you against potentially costly personal injury or property damage claims.
