Liability Insurance

Liability insurance responds when your business is held responsible for harm to someone else — a third party’s injury, a professional error, a defective product, or a decision made by a director.

Overview

Four kinds of exposure, one category of cover

General Liability, Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions), Product Liability, and Directors & Officers (D&O) cover each respond to a different source of business risk — most businesses only need some of the four, not all.

Whether legal defence costs sit inside or on top of the sum insured varies by policy.

Why It Matters

Why liability cover matters

Harm to others is a real business exposure

General liability responds when business operations cause third-party bodily injury or property damage.

Professional advice carries its own risk

Errors & Omissions cover responds to claims arising from professional advice or services you provide.

Directors carry personal exposure too

D&O cover protects directors and officers for decisions made in their governance role.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

It can, when the act occurred within the scope of employment and the loss falls within the policy’s defined cover — confirm the specific scope with your advisor.

Product liability responds specifically to harm caused by a defective product; general liability is broader and covers other operational risks.

It depends on your risk profile and whether investors, lenders, or contracts require it — worth discussing even at small scale.

This varies by policy.
