subject: Public Liability Insurance: Because Some People Are Only Too Ready To Sue [print this page] You only have to watch some of the commercials on TV to realise just how litigious our society is becoming. Things may not yet have reached the point they have in the U.S. but all too often what was once called an accident is now taken as a reason to find someone to blame.
And with firms of solicitors willing to act on a no win, no fee' basis, it's hardly surprising that some people are only too ready to sue.
For most businesses, this has made public liability insurance more important than ever. But does it apply to your business?
If customers or clients ever visit your premises or you ever visit theirs - and let's face it that does cover most businesses - then yes it does. Because it only takes a customer to slip over on a wet floor in your shop or a client to trip over a trailing cable in your office for a legal action to be heading your way. And if you run a caf or a restaurant, for example, there are added risks in the form of scalds and burns. Not to mention claims of food poisoning.
The good news is that competition in the marketplace means that these days you really can find cheap Business Insurance. And if you buy online, you can save yourself a great deal of time too with instant quotes and downloadable policy documentation.
Even better, you can get your public liability cover as part of a carefully tailored package designed to meet all the insurance needs of your particular type of business.
So don't leave yourself vulnerable to people just waiting for an accident to happen. Get your public liability quote right here.
