The Responsible Choice
Accidents, by their very nature, are neither deliberate nor planned. No matter how well prepared you may be, accidents can still happen. Even if you are doing everything right, following best practice at all times, the same cannot be said for the other party involved. This is where public liability insurance becomes essential.
Compensation and legal costs can be incredibly high, and could have serious financial implications for you or your business. With today’s culture of ambulance chasing, even baseless claims are still expensive things to defend against.
The Importance of Public Liability Insurance
Any business that deals with the public, or accepts customers onto their premises, is eligible for public liability insurance. Even if you do not have a bricks and mortar location yet deal with the public, like a taxi driver or chauffeur, you will still be obligated to pay out in the event of an accident or injury. Whilst it is not a legal requirement, it can often be a lifesaving element to your overall business cover.
- If a client or member of the public slips over on a wet floor at your business premises and sustains an injury, as the owner of the business you can be held accountable and have to pay their legal, medical and compensation costs.
- If you are working on a film set and damage camera equipment belonging to another freelancer, the cost of repairing it can easily run into the thousands.
- If a client is visiting your office and falls from a faulty chair, injuring themselves, they can sue you for compensation.
The amount of cover you require depends on the size and type of your business. Most of our partners offer £1 million cover as standard, with higher levels available if necessary.
If you work in an industry deemed to be high risk, you may need to get a specialist policy if the standard cover is insufficient or you do not qualify for it.
