Understanding Your Cover – Greenwich

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover safeguards your business throughout Greenwich when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public experiences personal injury or property damage as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether at your Greenwich premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability insurance, your Greenwich business could be held financially responsible for legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and associated expenses that can easily reach six figures. Most industries also demand proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

Public liability insurance in Greenwich typically covers:

  • Slips, trips and falls at your Greenwich business premises or job site
  • Property damage resulting from your business activities
  • Bodily injury claims stemming from your work
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Greenwich


Without public liability insurance for your Greenwich business, your company may be personally liable for devastating financial consequences, leaving your business financially vulnerable.
