Public and Products Liability

Public and products liability insurance protects businesses against the costs of compensating third parties if they suffer bodily injury or damage to their property. This cover pays for the claimants' legal costs, the costs of defending the action as well as the cost of compensation to the third party.

This does not include employees, who are protected under Employers Liability Insurance , or incidents caused by motor vehicles which are not usually covered by this type of insurance.

Overview Back To Top

Businesses have a duty of care to their customers and the general public. In today's increasingly litigious world, companies and other organisations are increasingly likely to find themselves held liable for accidents and events that cause injury to these third parties or damage to their property.

Customer Profile Back To Top

All businesses are vulnerable to public and products liability claims. Globalisation and the growth in exports have further increased exposure for companies. Public and products liability programmes can cover international as well as local liabilities.
