PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

WHAT DOES PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE COVER?

Public liability insurance will cover your business against the cost of a third party (individual or corporate) bringing legal action against you for injury or property damage caused by you during the course of your business. The policy will cover the legal costs and compensation where required, up to the limit of indemnity chosen.

Potential claims

Below are some examples of scenarios that could be covered under a tradesman public liability insurance policy:

• A plumber fitting a new bathroom causes a flood as a result of a faulty fitting and the customer claims against the plumber for the damage caused, the insurance will cover costs of the claim, including legal expenses and any compensation awarded in respect of rectifying the damage done. 
• A kitchen fitter, fitting a kitchen attaches a door incorrectly and when the door is opened it falls on the customer causing injury.  The insurance will cover the cost of any claim, including medical bills or lost income due to time off work.
