Ask a Question Who needs Liability Insurance cover?

Pretty much every business needs some sort of Liability Insurance.

If you have employees, the law dictates you must have Employers Liability Insurance.

If you have people visiting your premises or you go to their premises, you really should hold Public Liability Insurance (and for a few specialist businesses, it too is mandatory).

And if you sell goods or import from outside the EU then you should hold Products Liability Insurance.

Why? Because nothing is an accident these days. It’s ALWAYS somebody’s fault and that means you can get sued even if (you think) you did nothing wrong.

Ask a Question How much does Liability Insurance cost?

It can vary. For some clients it’s very cheap, as we have clients who pay as little as £100 per annum. On the other hand, we also have clients that pay in excess of £50,000 a year. The premium is linked to what you do, what claims you’ve had, your turnover and your wageroll.

Questions we frequently get asked about Liability Insurance

What employees are covered under the Employers Liability Insurance?

The definition of employees includes those on a standard employment contract, plus volunteers and (labour only) sub-contractors and work experience students.

Do I need Liability Insurance for directors?

If your business has two or more directors, then the law states you will need to purchase Employers Liability Insurance. Even if you are a one-person business, you should still consider buying Public and Products Liability Insurance if it’s relevant to what you do.

Can I buy these types of Liability Insurance separately?

Yes, but it can be a lot more expensive - so we would always recommend you buy them under one combined policy.

Why do I need to buy Products Liability Insurance if I import goods from China (for example) now that we’ve left the EU?

The reason is because it’s been written into UK law (see the Consumer Protection Act 1987), so that if you are importing anything into the UK from outside the EU then you are deemed to be the manufacturer of those goods.

Can I absolve myself of liability by my contract terms and conditions?

Yes and no. You cannot get out of liability for injury, but if your contract conditions are good enough (go see a solicitor) and are accepted by the other party, then it is possible to contractually get out of being liable for property damage.
