If your work means you come into contact with members of the public and their property – and that includes customers – it's important to consider public liability insurance.
If you're unlucky enough to injure someone or damage their property, public liability insurance can help cover potential legal costs and compensation payments, as well as repair work or medical fees.
It's also important to check your customer contracts to see if they specify a minimum amount for public liability insurance.
Gladiator Public Liability Insurance covers a wide range of professions from tradesmen to dog walkers, and we can cover up to six trades or professions on a single policy. We offer cover limits to suit your business needs, or you can choose from our set limits:
Building contractors and tradesmen spend time on sites in either their own or hired machinery. Plant insurance covers the cost of theft and damages to this machinery.
Contract works insurance covers work in progress on a construction site. It’s invaluable for construction companies if client contracts hold them responsible for unfinished work.
This insurance covers the cost of repairing or redoing work (including labour, materials, tools etc) on a construction site if it’s damaged or destroyed while in progress by an insured event like:
The cost of contract works insurance depends on several factors, including business activities and cover level and you should choose a cover level that matches the total cost of your largest project. Think about what it would cost to redo the work from scratch and don’t forget to include labour and materials.
Employers' liability cover protects against the cost of compensation claims from employees for illness or injury that happened as a result of their work for an employer.
It’s a legal requirement for businesses with employees and each day without cover can result in fines of up to £2,500.
Examples of where this cover would prove invaluable include:
In each case, a compensation claim is brought against the employer or former employer. The court can order the employer to pay compensation for injury, costs and other damages, a figure that can include medical care and lost income.
Employers' liability insurance covers the compensation payment and legal costs, up to the limit of the policy.
If you want to add cover for yourself and your employees, our Tradesman policy could work for you. This will give you Public and Employers' Liability Insurance.
Employers' liability insurance provides cover if an employee suffers an accident, injury or illness as a result of their work, leading to a legal dispute or compensation claim.
As well as protecting your staff, these policies also look after you and your business. Every UK Employers' Liability policy provides at least the legal minimum £5 million cover – however, policies taken out through Gladiator provide £10 million as standard. Since these costs might otherwise have to be paid by your business, it's crucial to get the correct cover in place.
