Do I need liability insurance?

It is a legal requirement to have liability cover if you employ full or part-time staff. Liability insurance protects you as an individual or business from the risk of being sued and held legally liable for something such as malpractice, injury, or negligence. A liability insurance policy will cover both legal costs and any legal payouts for which you or your business would be responsible if found legally liable for malpractice, injury, or negligence through the actions of your business.

Liability insurance in general

Failure to get the right kind of liability insurance could lead to your business having to foot the bill for huge claims against it. It’s important to know the differences between the types of liability insurance available. Compensation awarded resulting from a claim could include loss of earnings, future loss of earnings, damages that are awarded to the claimant, along with legal costs in defending against the claim, and the claimant’s legal costs that you would incur if you are found to be at fault.

Liability insurance is broken down into three main areas:

  • Public liability insurance
  • Employers liability insurance
  • Product liability insurance

Public Liability Insurance

Our public liability insurance policy will cover you and your business for any inconvenience or injury you may cause a customer or member of the public. This could be through damage or loss of goods or damage to their property while you are conducting your business. With public liability insurance in place, you will be covered for your legal fees and any compensation you may need to pay to the claimant if their claim is successful.

For example:

  • A cleaner mops a floor and doesn’t leave a wet floor sign visible, causing a member of the public to slip and injure themselves.
  • Your delivery driver pulls up outside a drop-off and leaves the handbrake off, causing the van to roll back and damage a parked car.
  • A window cleaner leaves their ladder unattended, which blows over and lands on someone, causing injury.

For example:

  • An employee falls off a ladder in a stockroom and breaks or fractures a bone.
  • A shop floor worker slips on a wet floor or trips on a loose cable.
  • A former employee develops a respiratory problem after prolonged exposure to unsafe chemicals in the workplace.

Employers Liability Insurance

Employers Liability Insurance cover will protect you against any compensation claims made against you by employees if they are injured or suffer illness while performing their duties at work. It is a legal requirement to have employers liability insurance if you employ one or more staff, including contractors or temporary staff. It also covers claims made by former staff members, as some illnesses can take time to develop.

Product Liability Insurance

A product liability insurance policy will cover the cost of compensation for anyone who is injured by a faulty product that your business designs, manufactures, or supplies. If your business designs, manufactures, or supplies a product that is sold or given away, you need to be covered against faulty products that slip through quality control or lack appropriate safety instructions.

You can be held liable for faulty products even if you did not manufacture them. You may be liable for a compensation claim if:

  • Your business’s name is on the product.
  • Your business repairs refurbishes or changes a product before distribution.
  • You imported the product from outside the European Union.
  • You cannot identify the product’s manufacturer, or the manufacturer has gone out of business.
