Do I need Public Liability Insurance?
It depends, every business is different. Lots of different businesses use Public Liability Insurance to protect against claims of negligence. For example, if you own a shop and a customer trips on a fallen box and hurts themselves, or you run a bakery and a customer gets very sick after eating an unrefrigerated cake.
Legal bills and compensation can be very expensive and could disrupt your cash flow of your business. To protect what you’ve built, Public Liability Insurance can cover $5 million, $10 million or $20 million worth of these costs, depending on which level of cover you choose.
What’s the difference between Public Liability Insurance and Professional Indemnity Insurance?
This can be confusing because they’re both designed to protect you if someone claims your business caused injury or damage to them.
The main difference is that only Professional Indemnity covers claims made against you because of the professional advice or services you provide to your clients.
If you decide you need both Professional Indemnity Insurance and Public Liability Insurance, you can get them both at once when you get a quote.
I run a home business, am I covered with Public Liability Insurance?
Yes, Public Liability can protect your business against claims of negligence from clients or suppliers who visit your home. For example, if a client comes to your home for a meeting, and they trip on a loose wire and hurt themselves.
