What is self-employed public liability insurance?
Self-employed public liability insurance can protect you in the event of a customer or a member of the public suffering an injury or illness as a result of your business activities. If they decide to make a claim against you and you are required to pay damages, your policy will cover the costs, up to your agreed claim limit.
This type of insurance isn't legally required, but you may want to consider it if your business is customer-facing. Regardless of the industry you work in, you could be held liable for causing harm to an individual - whether that's causing someone to get an electric shock due to faulty wiring or giving someone food poisoning from something you made.
At Autonet, we want to help you protect your business and find the right policy for you. We pride ourselves on our customer service to our loyal customers.
