What is Public Liability Insurance?
Public liability insurance covers you for claims including bodily injury or damage to property, which can be incredibly expensive (often hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars).
Unfortunately, these types of claims are on the rise — increasing the likelihood of you facing a lawsuit.
This kind of protection is important because even accidents or unforeseeable events can result in you and your business being found legally liable – and the costs of being sued can be extraordinarily high.
What can be covered
- Compensation costs
- Claims arising from products
- Employee negligence
- Legal expenses
- Loss or damage of property in your care
What may not be
- Costs of rectifying faulty workmanship or products
- Claims arising from professional advice
- Claims made by employees
- Product recall costs
Get started with Public Liability Insurance
Don’t risk your business and livelihood to a direct insurer who only provide general advice.
Public Liability claim example
The offshore manufacturer of George’s sunscreen accidentally contaminates the product with chemicals that cause customers to break out in a painful rash.
They file a class suit against George for compensation for the injury. Luckily, George’s public liability insurance covers him for the costs of going to court and the damages awarded to the customers, so he isn’t out of pocket.
Even though the recall costs aren’t covered by his public liability, the costly damages and legal fees were. His business is able to rectify the issue and continue operating.
