You’d be crazy not to !!!
As a Hydraulic Engineers, you can’t control every variable at client premises or on site. Public liability insurance can provide a financial back‑stop if a client, neighbour or passer‑by alleges injury or damage caused by your work.
Why it matters: one incident involving contractors on site can mean compensation, repair bills and legal costs — public liability insurance is designed to help with those outcomes.
What this policy typically covers
- Injury to third parties (clients, visitors, passers‑by).
- Damage to third‑party property (customer premises, neighbouring property, vehicles).
- Legal defence costs and associated expenses (subject to policy terms).
- Site‑visit accidents involving tripods, measuring kit and temporary access areas.
- Claims linked to your operations while working at premises you don’t own.
Examples of claims we see
Example: while working at client premises or on site, a piece of materials or a tool is dropped and damages a client’s property. The customer asks you to pay for repairs and makes a formal claim.
- Injury example: A member of the public is injured by a poorly placed tripod/laser level.
- Damage example: A dropped tablet cracks tiles or damages a glass balustrade.
- Another common scenario: A visitor slips on a wet patch during an inspection where you’re present.
Common cover limits
Choose a limit that matches your contracts and exposure. Working in busy public areas or higher‑value premises often means opting for a higher indemnity limit.
What else might you need?
- Office Contents Cover — cover for the job in progress, materials, plant or kit (depending on the cover type).
- Professional Indemnity (For Advice/Design/Specification) — useful if you rely on specialist equipment to work.
- Product liability — worth considering if you sell or supply products as part of your service.
- Professional indemnity — for claims arising from advice, design, specifications or errors in professional services.
- Employers’ liability — Working with helpers? Consider employers’ liability cover too (it covers claims from employees rather than the public).
