Public liability insurance will provide protection for the legal and compensation costs should a third party, such as a client or member of the public, make a claim against you.
Public liability insurance provides cover for the policyholder for the financial costs of legal action made against them in respect of injury or property damage to a third party which occurs due to your business activities and during the period of insurance.
The coverage provided by public liability insurance can be understood in two categories:
Should a third party bring legal action against your business, alleging that you or an employee acting for your business, is responsible for bodily injury or damage to property, the public liability policy will cover the legal representation/defence costs as necessary. Should the outcome of such a legal dispute be that your business is liable, the policy will also pay the compensation owed, up to the limit of indemnity on the policy.
