Considered two of the most important forms of insurance for businesses, public liability and professional indemnity insurance can help provide cover for very different risks.

Public liability and product liability insurance can help protect your business against financial losses if a third party claims they’ve sustained an injury or that their property was damaged due to your products or business activities.

Whereas, professional indemnity insurance can help protect you if a third party (usually a client) claims that an error in your advice or service caused them injury, damage or financial loss. It can help cover settlements judgements, investigation costs and defence costs in relation to professional indemnity claims or action made against you.
