Liability Insurance
Liability insurance is an important aspect of business planning and risk management that protects your business from financial loss caused by legal action against you. As a business owner, you can be held accountable not only for your actions, but also for the actions of others, such as your employees and contractors.
Liability insurance provides a financial benefit to be used or payment of penalty if you or your business is found to be negligent in terms of property damage or damages awarded to an injured party.
Business Liability Insurance includes:
Professional Indemnity – insurance cover for your business and employees in the event of a lawsuit relating to professional advice.
Employment Practices – liability for unfair dismissal, sexual harassment, bullying, invasion of privacy and other activities that may result in legal action and damages payment.
Legislation – insurance cover from lawsuits or fines associated with Chain of Responsibility, Workers Compensation, pollution and environmental breaches.
