Third Party Liability

Third party liability insurance covers the cost of compensation to third parties, which may occur as a result of your business activities…

Everyone has a legal duty to behave in a reasonable manner towards others. Those who fail to do so will be legally obliged to pay compensation to anyone who is injured or whose property is damaged as a result of their actions. These liabilities may arise through the careless or negligent acts of business owners and their employees.

Adler Fairways can help you assess the potential risks to your business and source the appropriate cover.

For example, if you fail to maintain your premises properly and a visitor is injured, they may make a claim against you. Compensation could include financial recompense for any expenses incurred, loss of earnings, possible loss of future earnings, and pain and suffering.

Third party liability insurance covers the cost of compensation to third parties for death, injury or damage to their property, which happens as a result of a firm’s business activities.

Third party liability insurance is not usually compulsory by law, except for a very limited number of businesses which are covered by specific legislation, such as riding schools. However, customers may require businesses to have public liability cover as a condition of awarding a contract and will ask for confirmation that cover is in force.
