Public liability insurance has specific exclusions that are important for businesses to run without any mishaps and breakdowns.
Here’s what it typically does not cover:
- Employee-Related Liabilities: Claims involving injury to your employees are not covered. These are addressed under Workmen’s Compensation or Employer’s Liability Insurance.
- Property in Your Care: Damage to property under your care, custody, or control is excluded. For such risks, property insurance.
- Work-Related Property Damage: Any loss or damage to property being actively worked upon is not covered.
- Motor Vehicle Incidents: Accidents involving road vehicles fall under motor insurance policies, not public liability insurance.
- Product Defects: Claims arising from defective products you manufacture, sell, or distribute are excluded and covered under product liability insurance.
- Professional Errors: Liabilities from professional advice or services are excluded and require professional indemnity insurance.
- Consequential Loss: Losses that occur as an indirect consequence of an incident, not through your business or types of equipment, are not covered.
- Pure Financial Loss: Financial losses without any associated bodily injury or property damage are not included.
