Public Liability Insurance

What does Public Liability Cover?

Public Liability Insurance can cover your legal defence costs if a client makes a claim against you, and the costs if you’re found to be at fault. This cover or ‘Indemnity limit’ can typically vary from £1 million up to £10 million. We’ll discuss the risks your business is exposed to, and any contractual clauses set by your clients, to help you choose the right level of cover.

Your public liability policy can also provide ‘run-off insurance’. This covers you if a claim is made against your business in the future, when your business no longer operates.

Public Liability optional extras

There are optional extras you can include*:

Should an employee be injured during their work for you, your employers’ liability insurance will cover compensation and legal costs.

If you have employees or contractors, this needs to be noted on your insurance policy. This is in case they do something that means your client makes a claim against your business.

Consequential loss is sometimes included, although it often comes with exclusions. This covers you for any financial losses claimed by your client as an indirect result of your mistake or negligence.

 

*Limitations and exclusions apply to all these add-ons.
