Public liability insurance protects your business if a customer, client or member of the public is injured, or their property is damaged, because of your business activities. One claim, one lawsuit or one compensation payout can be enough to hurt a business badly, so this is cover most businesses should not go without. ![Public Liability Insurance](https://www.coverbuddies.com/hubfs/Public%20Liability%202-1.png)   [GET A PUBLIC LIABILITY QUOTE](https://www.coverbuddies.com/request-information-commercial?hsLang=en)   ## What it covers Public liability insurance protects your business against claims from third parties — customers, clients, suppliers, contractors or the public — for injury, illness or property damage caused by your business activities. It does not cover your own employees; that is what workmen's compensation is for. Cover typically includes legal fees for defending a claim, and compensation awarded to the claimant. ## Why it matters - **Financial protection:** a single claim can bring legal costs, compensation and lost revenue. - **Often required by contract:** many landlords and clients ask for proof of public liability cover before signing a lease or awarding a contract. - **Shows professionalism:** having cover in place signals to clients and partners that you take their safety seriously. ## Who typically needs it Any business with customers, clients or members of the public on its premises or affected by its work, including retailers, contractors, event organisers and service providers. ## How can Cover Buddies help? We help you compare options and set up the right policy for your business, so you deal with one team instead of several insurers. ## Common questions ### Does it cover my employees? No. Employee injuries are covered by workmen's compensation, a separate policy. ### Is it a legal requirement? Not always by law, but often required by landlords, clients or contracts. ### What is excluded? Every policy differs, so review the exclusions before you sign.   Read our full guide: [Understanding Public Liability Insurance: Risks, Coverage, And More](https://www.coverbuddies.com/en/knowledge-hub/what-is-public-liability-insurance?hsLang=en).
