Public and products cover in a nutshell
Public Liability insurance covers you when you have to pay compensation because a client, contractor or member of the public
claims over accidental injury or property damage. This may be something that happened at your workplace (e.g. a client slipping
on a wet surface) or perhaps something an employee did while out and about, such as spilling coffee over a client’s computer.
The limit of indemnity you select will be on an any one claim basis. This means that each individual claim for compensation has
its own limit of indemnity. The exception to this is when a claim is made for products liability. For these claims your limit of
indemnity will provide cover for the total of all claims in the policy period. We will also pay up to £100,000 for legal fees paid out
in defending a claim.
Key benefits: what risks are you protected against?
Cover includes:
• claims caused by goods which your company either sold, manufactured, repaired, installed, erected, altered, cleaned or
treated and - through negligence - caused injury or damage

The small print: significant or unusual exclusions and limitations

cover or our underwriters’ assessment. Your schedule of insurance will show the specific excesses applicable to your
policy.

This example is good as this would cover Neg's Urban Sports with his violent games and actions against the public, as it covers about any bodily harm and Negs usually ends up with pshyical contact against the audience , like throwing burgers in pubs , or stealing the ball from rugby games. However This one wouldn't cover Militan Black Guy becasue the Militant Black Guy isn't Violent In a psychical way towards anyone . Militant black guy would have to speak to his lawyers about a much better cover which will cover his verbal assault on his race which is Black.
