Insurance broker liability insurance

When considering what insurance for insurance brokers should include, it’s worth giving some thought to the risks your business is exposed to. If you visit clients at their premises or have clients or members of the public visiting yours, you could be held responsible for loss or damage that occurs.

Hiscox public liability insurance is designed to cover the cost of settling or defending a claim from a client or member of the public that they’ve suffered bodily injury or property damage as a result of your business. This could be something as simple as damaging a client’s high-spec laptop by spilling a drink while working at their office. If you don’t have the right cover in place it could end up being a very costly accident.

It’s designed to protect your business against the cost of settling or defending claims from an employee that they’ve suffered injury or disease because of the work they do for you. This could be an injury to a part-time worker caused by tripping over a loose bit of carpet, or long term conditions caused by office furnishings or equipment.
