Read the Hiscox explanation for public liability insurance
So, do you need public liability insurance if you’re not a liability?
Let’s put it this way, it’s not about covering accidents you have, but covering accidents caused by your business to customers or the public.
Maybe it’s something small like one of your team dropping coffee on your client’s laptop, or maybe it’s something much larger.
Maybe a customer or member of the public gets hurt.
Whether your business is accused of accidental damage or causing injury, public liability cover protects you against the drama that court fees and compensation bring.
And that explains… public liability insurance.
