Exercising duty of care is vital, but mishaps are bound to occur.

All businesses need a public liability insurance policy to protect themselves in the instance they’re held legally liable for injury, or property damage during the course of their work.

It’s not a legal requirement to have public liability insurance, but it’s strongly recommended because mishaps are so common. At best they’re relatively minor, at worst you’ll be bound by the financial shackles of a hefty bill for many years.

More than the financial impact of a public liability claim against you, it’s never great for your reputation if you do not have the appropriate cover for your business. It is crucial to have a trusted insurance company to support your business long-term.

We keep it simple and market-leading to ensure you have just the right balance of optimised insurance cover.

Public liability insurance protects and provides cover for:

Injury to, or death of, someone on your premises
Loss of, or damage to, someone else’s property on your premises
The legal costs incurred in the instance of (or in defence of) a claim
Other workers acting on behalf of your business, who may have had an incident resulting in a claim against them

We also offer support and advice when you change from your existing insurance provider.
