Public liability insurance
With public liability insurance cover, you have protection if you're at fault for an injury or damage to a client or member of the public. In certain industries, it can be essential to have this cover in place before you can commence trading and if a third-party claim is made against you, public liability insurance may cover all or some of the legal costs associated with defending a claim.

Products liability insurance
Do you design, manufacture or supply products? This form of professional liability insurance is an important consideration. It doesn't matter if you sell, rent or donate a physical product to someone. If it's faulty and causes injury or damage, you could be held legally responsible. If you didn't directly make or manufacture the product yourself, you may still be liable to pay damages, even as a third-party supplier.
Products liability cover offers a layer of protection from the cost of compensation if a claim is made against you, subject to the scope of insurance purchased.
Employers' liability insurance
Employers are responsible for the health and safety of all employees whilst at work. Failing to have Employers' liability insurance could lead to a significant fines. If an accident occurs and an employee is injured or becomes ill as a consequence of work-related activities, they may make a claim for compensation against you.
