Public liability covers you if you cause injury to a member of the public or accidentally damage someone’s property. An example of this could include a customer slipping on a wet floor in your shop or office and hurting themselves. This insurance also covers you if a customer or member of the public becomes ill or suffers an injury as a result of a product you have supplied.
