A growing number of businesses require protection against litigation arising
from customers, employees and the public, which is not covered under a standard
liability policy.
Once only a requirement of the professions, there are many of the new industries,
such as the I.T. sector, consultant managers, personnel services and the like,
who are increasing exposed to claims from dissatisfied or injured parties.
Any director, manager, supervisor or employee with staff responsibilities of a
limited company has a potential for legal action to be brought against them for
failing to do their job in accordance with certain laws. This could involve a
creditor suing the financial director allowing a company to trade whilst technically
insolvent, a personnel officer for failing to deal with racism, sexual harassment
or sex discrimination within the workplace or the nominated Health and Safety
officer for failing to provide a safe system of work. We can provide an indemnity
against such claims.
