As a business you do your best to limit the possibility of injury or illness to your employees resulting from their work, but if they do have an accident or become ill, your business could be sued for compensation as you have a liability as an employer. As a result, many of our clients purchase employers’ liability insurance to provide cover against a claim from an employee.
Employers’ liability insurance with cover from €5 million upwards is available and protects against claims from employees
Easy access to ‘no win no fee’ legal services which help employees claim compensation may increase the likelihood of a business experiencing an employers’ liability claim if they suffer an accident or illness which they think has been caused as a direct result of their work.
Your employers’ liability could be triggered even if the employee is a voluntary helper or is self-employed but working under your supervision.
The legal and compensation costs of defending your business against an employers’ liability claim could significantly damage your business. Even the most trivial accident such as tripping over a computer cable at work could trigger an employers’ liability claim from an employee. Dickson & Wilson Insurance Brokers can insure your business against unforeseen legal and compensation costs.
