LIABILITY

EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY

Employers are responsible for the health and safety of their employees while they are at work. Your employees may be injured at work or they, or your former employees, may become ill as a result of their work while in your employment. They might try to claim compensation from you if they believe you are responsible. The Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 ensures that you have at least a minimum level of insurance cover against any such claims.

Employers' liability insurance will enable you to meet the cost of compensation for your employees' injuries or illness whether they are caused on or off site and we are able to provide this cover for you and give advice on how to proceed.

PRODUCTS LIABILITY

If you manufacture or supply goods, there's always the possibility that your product could cause damage to a third party – that could be property or another person. A small defect could open you up to massive claims, so this cover is vitally important for product manufacturers.

PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

Public liability insurance covers you against any claims made against your business – for example if you were held legally liable for personal injury, or for damage done to property. The insurance will also cover you for any legal costs associated with defending claims against your business.

Even if you work from home it may be that you need public liability insurance. If clients often visit you at your home office then this policy will cover you, if they injure themselves while they're on your premises (it could be something as daft as tripping over the carpet!). And don’t forget if you regularly work off-site your policy should apply to off-site as well as on-site jobs.

(Please Note: Covers detailed above are dependent on the policy that you have purchased).
