If you have someone working for you, then you are required to take out employer’s liability insurance by law in the UK. This applies even if your staff are temporary or volunteers.

Despite our best efforts, workplace injuries do happen and these often occur when we least expect them to. Some have devastating consequences for both the employer and the employee and can be extremely costly without the right insurance.

Employer’s liability from The County Group is designed to protect you in circumstances like these. For example, if one of your employees was to become sick or injured as a result of working for you then you could face a nasty claim for compensation.

Your employer’s liability policy can help by covering the cost of legal fees, loss of earnings and compensation if it is awarded.

Public and Employer’s Liability

Employer’s liability can be bought as a standalone policy or combined with other types of business insurance. Most commonly, it is bought alongside public liability which protects against claims of negligence by other businesses or the general public. You can read more about public liability here.
