At Trade Direct Insurance, we specialise in comprehensive and affordable public liability insurance specifically designed for plumbers like you. Our policies offer the peace of mind you need to focus on what you do best – delivering quality plumbing services.
Plumber's Public Liability Insurance explained
Public Liability Insurance is a crucial safeguard that covers the cost of claims made against you by third parties (clients, members of the public) for:
Injury
If someone gets hurt due to your work, your insurance can cover their medical expenses and compensation.
Property Damage
If your work accidentally damages someone's property, your insurance can cover the repair or replacement costs.
Legal Expenses
In the event of a claim, your insurance can help cover legal fees and court costs.
