Which insurance is primarily concerned with injuries to customers on business premises?

• A. Public Liability Insurance
• B. Product Liability Insurance
• C. Professional Indemnity Insurance
• D. Employers Liability Insurance

Answer: (A)

Public liability insurance is designed to cover claims from members of the public for injuries or damage that happen because of the business’s activities, including incidents that occur on the business premises. If a customer slips on a wet floor, is bumped into, or has their property damaged while visiting the premises, this policy typically helps with legal costs and compensation.

In contrast, employers liability insurance covers injuries to employees, even when they occur on the job on the premises. Product liability deals with harm caused by a product after it’s sold, and professional indemnity covers financial losses arising from the professional advice or services provided. So for injuries to customers or visitors on the business premises, public liability is the most relevant.
