Retail Shop Insurance UK

If you own a retail premises you need to be careful with obtaining the correct level of cover to protect your asset. You may be the landlord of the building or the freeholder and operating your business from the premises, and both will expose you to certain risks that you need to be aware of. Whether you have a property owner’s policy/commercial property owner’s policy or business policy, you can be exposed to liability claims. Imagine you had a customer & you were the business owner insuring your contents and fixtures & fitting along with the stock in the shop, and your customer tripped and fell, injuring themselves in the process. Now imagine the same customer is unable to carry out her duties at work due to the injury sustained at your premises. Now imagine you have been found negligent – this is why it is paramount you have an insurance policy that covers you for the correct level of public liability & provide you as the business owner adequate protection. The same applies to a commercial landlord renting the retail premises to a commercial tenant – imagine a slate falling from the roof of your building and injuring someone who is passing by. This is why you need a policy that will insure you for the correct level of property owners liability. Many retail premises can have legal expenses added to the policy in addition to the like of terrorism insurance which can also be added.

What level of cover can I insure an unadopted road for?

There are various levels of cover you can choose from. Ultimately, this will be down to the insuring party to consider which level of cover suits their own particular profile. The insuring party may want to consider, how often members of the public access the road. They can then look at insuring up to the following limits of Private Road Liability.

£1,000,000

£2,000,000

£5,000,000

You may also be able to add extras to the insurance, such as electric gates or barriers. This may cost an additional premium on top of the Public Liability Insurance for the Road.

What will it actually cover me for?

Unadopted Road insurance will cover you for claims made against you (the policyholder) for Injury to third parties or third party property damage. It is common knowledge among insuring parties that it will give the policyholder protection against third party injuries, but often third party property damage is often overlooked – and these claims are becoming extremely common! For example, if a pothole develops on the road and someone damages the wheel of their car, you may potentially be proven negligent and liable for the repair.
