Public liability insurance can protect you and your business against claims that arise from third-party injuries or property damage. We highly recommend this if you work with customers, suppliers, or members of the public on a regular basis.

Business insurance is a package designed to cover your business contents, tools and commercial premises against damage and loss. It also offers an option for public liability, but only at your request.

Public liability insurance generally does not cover injuries to your employees and damage to your own property.

It may also exclude claims that arise due to professional negligence, faulty workmanship, contractual liability and events that occurred before the policy period.

Public liability insurance can protect you and your business in the event a third party is accidentally injured or sustains property damage due to your business activities.
