Public & Products Liability Insurance Covers the Cost of Claims Against Your Business

Public & Products Liability Insurance covers your legal liability for injury to other people or damage to their property arising from your business operations, your premises, or products you've manufactured, supplied, or sold. It responds to the cost of defending a claim as well as any damages awarded.

Many businesses need this insurance simply by virtue of dealing with the public, clients, or supply chains — a visitor on site, a faulty product, or an accident during your work can all trigger a claim. We help you set a limit of liability that matches the size and risk profile of your business.

How Public & Products Liability Insurance Differs From Related Products

Public & Products Liability vs. Professional Indemnity

Public & Products Liability responds to physical injury or property damage. Professional Indemnity responds to financial loss caused by advice, design, or professional services you've provided. Many businesses that provide both physical work and professional advice carry both.

Public & Products Liability vs. Product Recall

Public & Products Liability covers the cost of a claim once injury or damage has occurred. Product Recall covers the cost of withdrawing a faulty or contaminated product from the market before it causes further harm.

Public & Products Liability vs. Management Liability

Public & Products Liability protects against third-party claims. Management Liability protects your business and its directors against claims arising from how the business itself is run, such as employment disputes or regulatory action.
