Combined Liability
As a Broker Nelsons Insurance Services Ltd can provide small businesses with a competitive quotation for Combined Liability insurance. Let us break down the two covers for you
Employers’ Liability insurance
As a small business you do your best to limit the possibility of injury or illness to your employees resulting from their work, but if they do have an accident or become ill, your business could be sued for compensation under your employers’ liability insurance. As a result, businesses in the UK that employ staff are legally obliged to have employers’ liability insurance to provide cover against a claim from an employee.
Employers’ liability insurance can be bought with Public Liability Insurance but not in isolation.
Why have employers’ liability insurance
- In most cases if you have employees, employers’ liability insurance with cover of at least £5 million, is a legal requirement and you could be fined if you’re not covered
- Easy access to ‘no win no fee’ legal services which help employees claim compensation may increase the likelihood of a business experiencing an employers’ liability claim if they suffer an accident or illness which they think has been caused as a direct result of their work
- Your employers’ liability could be triggered even if the employee is a voluntary helper or is self employed but working under your supervision
- The legal and compensation costs of defending your business against an employers’ liability claim could significantly damage your business.
Public Liability insurance
Despite your best intentions, accidents do happen and if the accident is as a result of something your business has done then a client, contractor, or member of the public can claim against your business for compensation. Your public liability can be triggered by something as simple as spilling a drink over a client’s computer, or a contractor slipping on a wet surface in your office incurring injury or damage.
Why have public liability insurance
- Even if you don’t have visitors to your office or home, you could still suffer a public liability claim against your business; for example, if you accidentally damage a client’s property in their office
- Easy access to ‘no win no fee’ legal services which help individuals claim compensation may increase the likelihood of a business experiencing a public liability claim
- Anyone working for you could trigger a public liability claim against your business if their actions at work injure a client or member of the public
- Many companies and organisations will also insist on their suppliers having public liability insurance cover in place.
Public Liability can be purchased in isolation.

Professional Indemnity Insurance
At Nelsons Insurance Services Ltd we have access to all Major Markets and Lloyds of London and can obtain a competitive quotation for this type of cover.
Professional indemnity insurance, also known as PI insurance or indemnity insurance, can help protect you if claims are brought against you by a client due to a problem with work you have done for them.
A Professional indemnity policy will offer cover for compensation you may need to pay to correct a mistake or cover any legal costs due to negligence, such as giving incorrect advice or making a mistake in your work.
You may need professional indemnity insurance if you:
- Provide advice to your clients
- Handle data belonging to a client or business
- Are responsible for a client’s intellectual property
Provide a professional service and could be challenged on your work. You may feel confident in the quality of your work, but any small business is vulnerable to a claim of negligence when professional advice or services fail to meet a client’s expectations and cause financial loss.
