Public and Products Insurance
Protecting your business against liability risks is a fundamental part of responsible risk management. At Commercial Insurance Solutions, we help you secure the right Public Liability and Products Liability insurance so your business can operate with confidence — whatever challenges arise.
What Is Public & Product Liability Insurance?
Public Liability insurance protects your business if you are legally liable for accidental injury to a third party (such as a client, customer, supplier, or member of the public) or for damage to their property arising from your business activities.
This could occur on your own premises, at a client’s site, or anywhere you are carrying out work. If a claim is made against your business, Public Liability insurance can cover legal defence costs, settlements, and compensation awards — helping protect your business from potentially significant financial loss.
Although not a legal requirement in the UK, Public Liability insurance is commonly required by clients, contractors, landlords, and local authorities, and is often a contractual condition when tendering for work.
Products Liability insurance protects your business if you are legally liable for injury to a third party or damage to their property caused by a product you have manufactured, supplied, sold, installed, or repaired.
This type of cover applies once a product has left your control and is typically arranged alongside Public Liability insurance as part of a combined liability policy. It provides essential protection for businesses involved in supplying physical products, components, or materials.
