Public Liability Insurance
Needham Insurance is a specialist insurance broker for Public Liability insurance
Public Liability Insurance covers your legal liability to pay damages to members of the public for death, bodily injury or damage to their property which occurs as a result of your business activities. It also covers legal fees, costs and expenses such as representation at any Coroner’s inquest, fatal accident enquiry or other court hearing because of an accident.
Public Liability Cover should be considered if members of the public, clients or customers visit your premises. If you run a home-business, and customers sometimes visit you there, Public Liability cover might also be a good idea.
Each year millions is paid out in Public Liability Insurance claims, and thousands of small businesses go out of business due to not having adequate Public Liability Cover in place. The reason for this is that people are becoming more aware of their right to seek compensation in the event of an accident.
If your small business does not have Public Liability Insurance in place and you get sued for compensation then you will be liable to pay the full amount of the claim. If you are not able to cover the costs of the claim then you may lose your business and potentially other assets including your home.

If you are visited by the Health and Safety Executive they will request your certificate of Public Liability Insurance. If you are unable to produce a certificate for them they can fine you £1000 and they can fine your business £2,500 for every day you are without suitable insurance.
You may still need Public Liability Insurance if you work from home and your clients often visit you at your home office. In addition to this, many public bodies now require Public Liability Cover to be in place before you can work for them, or indeed, you may not secure a contract with them without it.
