LIABILITY INSURANCE

Liability & professional indemnitywhen liability comes at a cost.

A claim from a client or third party for damage, injury or financial loss can be very costly, even when you are not at fault. Liability insurance covers compensation and defence costs.

Types of liability insurance

  • Public liability: for injury and property damage to third parties from your activity or premises
  • Professional indemnity: for errors or omissions in the services you provide (doctors, engineers, accountants, lawyers, consultants)
  • Directors & officers (D&O): for board members and senior managers
  • Product liability: for damage caused by products you make or distribute
  • Employer’s liability towards staff, depending on the programme
  • Legal protection, depending on the programme

Who needs it

Every business that receives customers or visitors, every professional who gives advice or services, and every company with a board of directors. For some professions professional indemnity is compulsory or required by contracts and tenders.

What to check

  • The limit per claim and per year
  • The period of cover and what applies to claims made later
  • The exclusions, which vary a lot by profession
  • Whether legal defence costs are covered

Covers, limits and exclusions are always defined by the terms of the insurer’s policy.
