Defence Costs
Provides cover for defence costs as well as any compensation.
Public and Products Liability is considered to be one of the most important insurance covers for all businesses.
Public and Products Liability insurance is designed to protect you and your business from the significant costs associated with any legal action as a result of your actual or alleged negligence that has caused third party property damage or personal injury, whilst acting in the course of your business (including employees) or through your products.
Accidents can and do happen.
You have a duty of care to uphold to your customers, employees, and the general public. If deemed negligent, even without intent, compensation ordered payable to claimants can be substantial and potentially damaging to the financial position of your company.
A Public and Products Liability policy will ensure that your business has greater financial security for the future, allowing you to plan ahead with greater certainty.
