Public liability insurance for window cleaners
Window cleaners, as much as any other professional, need public liability insurance to ensure they’re protected in case the unexpected happens.
Public liability insurance protects your business in the event of the work you do causing a member of the public to be injured, or someone’s property becoming damaged.
Maybe your ladder accidentally cracks a client’s window, or someone unfortunately trips up on some window cleaning equipment you’ve left at the bottom of your ladder, and they end up hurting themselves. That’s where public liability insurance comes in, covering the legal costs that would be associated with a claim made against you and your business. This policy can also provide coverage for both employees of a business or self-employed business owners.
To learn more about public liability cover, give us a call, and we can give you a better understanding of how this insurance can support you and your window cleaning business.
