Liability Insurance

A Core Part of Your Business Protection Strategy

Running a business means managing people, premises, products, and the unexpected. Even the most organised companies face risks that can quickly become costly without the right cover in place. That’s why Liability Insurance is a fundamental part of any strong Business Insurance package. 

At Moriarty Insurance, we specialise in making Business Insurance simple. Liability Insurance policies include three essential covers: Employers’ Liability, Public Liability, and Products Liability. Together, they help safeguard your business from claims that could otherwise disrupt operations or impact your finances. 

Below, we break down what each type of cover includes – and who needs it. 

 

Employers’ Liability Insurance 

If your business employs anyone – whether full‑time, part‑time, temporary, or casual – Employers’ Liability is a legal requirement in the UK. It protects your organisation if an employee becomes injured or ill as a result of the work, they carry out for you. 

Who needs it? 

  • Any business with employees 
  • Companies using temporary, seasonal, or casual staff 
  • Organisations hiring contractors or labour-only subcontractors 
  • Businesses responsible for volunteers, apprentices, or trainees 

 

Why it matters 

Even with strong safety procedures, accidents can happen. Employers’ Liability is a vital part of your Business Protection strategy, covering compensation claims, legal fees, and unexpected costs. 

 

Public Liability Insurance 

Public Liability protects your business if a customer, visitor, or member of the public suffers injury or property damage due to your business activities – whether on your premises or out on a job. 

Who needs it? 

  • Retailers, cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues 
  • Tradespeople working in clients’ homes or on-site 
  • Offices or studios with visiting clients 
  • Any business interacting with the public 

 

Why it matters 

A simple slip, trip, or accidental damage can lead to significant claims. Public Liability is one of the most widely used types of Commercial Insurance, offering essential protection for businesses of all sizes. 

 

Products Liability Insurance 

If your business manufactures, supplies, distributes, or sells products, Products Liability is essential. It protects you if a product you provide causes injury or damage due to being faulty or defective. 

Who needs it? 

  • Manufacturers and wholesalers 
  • Online and physical retailers 
  • Food and drink producers 
  • Importers and distributors 
  • Businesses supplying components or materials 

 

Why it matters 

Even with rigorous quality control, product issues can arise. Products Liability ensures your business is protected from claims linked to product faults – a crucial part of comprehensive Corporate Insurance and Business Insurance for product‑based companies.
