You’d be crazy not to !!!
If you work as a Lift Maintenance, even a small mishap while using tools and equipment can lead to a costly claim. Public liability insurance is designed to help with third‑party injury or damage claims, including legal costs.
Why it matters: one incident involving customers can mean compensation, repair bills and legal costs — public liability insurance is designed to help with those outcomes.
Key cover areas
- Third‑party injury claims arising from accidents connected to your work.
- Accidental property damage caused during your work (including at client premises).
- Legal defence costs and associated expenses (subject to policy terms).
- Everyday working risks where the public or clients are nearby.
- On‑site and off‑site incidents — including set‑up, pack‑down and day‑to‑day working activities.
Typical scenarios for Lift Maintenance
Example: you’re moving tools and equipment through a customer’s property and accidentally cause damage to flooring or fixtures — public liability insurance is designed for this type of third‑party property claim.
- Injury example: A visitor trips over equipment you’ve left in a walkway and is injured.
- Damage example: Spilled materials stain flooring or soft furnishings and require replacement.
- Another common scenario: You accidentally damage a client’s property while carrying out your work.
Picking the right limit of indemnity
Many clients and contractors ask for cover at £1m, £2m, £5m or £10m. The right limit depends on where you work, contract requirements, and the potential cost of a worst‑case claim.
What else might you need?
- Product Liability (If Supplying Goods) — cover for the job in progress, materials, plant or kit (depending on the cover type).
- Tools Cover — useful if you rely on specialist equipment to work.
- Product liability — worth considering if you sell or supply products as part of your service.
- Employers’ liability — Working with helpers? Consider employers’ liability insurance too (it covers claims from employees rather than the public).
