Underinsurance

We know it’s tempting to select a lower level of cover to reduce premiums, but this can leave businesses shocked and insufficiently covered when making a claim.

Ways underinsurance catches business owners out:

Inflation

With inflation, the cost of living and doing business increases. Remember to cover you, your tools and assets for the rising costs of replacing or covering them, not what you paid for them – you may be surprised at the difference.

Not covering the full cost of your risks

If you select cover levels for less than the value you may be found liable – left out of pocket when it comes to claims time. It’s important to review your risks and determine how much you will need to cover any claim that may come your way.

Frequently asked questions

Public Liability insurance for glaziers is a common policy because it is typically required to work with clients, enter job sites, and lease commercial premises (such as a workshop or warehouse).  

Public Liability insurance is designed to provide protection for you and your business in the event a customer, supplier or a member of the public brings a claim against you due to their being injured or sustaining property damage as a result of your negligent business activities. 

Portable Equipment (or general property) insurance can cover specified items you take on the job with you, such as tools, business equipment or electronic items, or unspecified items of lower value. Contents insurance covers the things which stay on your premises.

Personal Accident & Illness insurance can provide cover should you become permanently disabled or pass away as a result of an accident. Cover can also include a weekly benefit for loss of income if you are unable to work as a result of an unexpected injury or illness (even if it occurs outside of your employment).

If you’re a sole trader, then Personal Accident and Illness insurance can help you continue to pay the bills or hire a subcontractor while you recover.
