Why do we need Public Liability Insurance?
Businesses need to be protected from a liability that arises from accidents in a business premise or operations. Work being done and in-store activities can potentially go wrong due to unforeseen events. The public can be injured or their property is damaged by these events.
Members of the public in contact with the business, for example, walking on a footpath being worked on by the business. If they were to be injured while on that footpath. They suspect it to be due to negligent work practices. They can file a claim for compensation from the business because of this.
