<div class='uawarticle'>Each day plumbers confront the risk of causing damage to property belonging to 3rd parties or causing personal injuries to another in the course of their business.<br />
<br />
These are well known and established hazards that are common to heating engineers and whilst exercising due care and diligence can certainly diminish the likelihood of causing such damage or injury, it is within the nature of the business to be unable to totally remove the threat of such losses happening.<br />
<br />
When injury or damage occurs, you may find yourself threatened with a claim in respect of your legal responsibility for such loss and the consequences of defending such a claim or any damages that may be awarded if you are found responsible can have a severe financial impact upon you and your business.<br />
<br />
The majority of building contractors will be aware that they may protect themselves against such monetary consequences by arranging an suitable third party or public liability insurance policy.<br />
<br />
The plumbers public liability insurance policy is designed to protect the policyholder against losses in respect of their legal liability for property damage or personal injuries to third parties.<br />
<br />
In addition to providing an indemnity to the insured in regard of any legal award made against them, the policy also provides for the legal defence costs incurred in defending any action against the insured; regardless of whether or not they are eventually found to be legally responsible or not.<br />
<br />
When arranging your cover you should ensure that the business description under the contract is a factual and correct reflection of your business activities and that the insurance company would believe your business activities to be within the reasonable consideration of that trade or occupation.<br />
<br />
An excellent illustration of this would be that a plumber maybe likely on occasion to undertake some building work relation with work they are undertaking, this would be acceptable to an insurance company, but the insurer would not expect a plumbing and heating engineer to be involved in a contract purely for the building works or property development.. This is the job of a builder. Confronted with a loss of this type an insurer may well be entitled to avoid the policy.<br />
<br />
Policies in the UK have a limit of indemnity that represents the highest sum the insurance company will pay in the event of a legal action being found against the insured. The limit under plumbing and heating engineers liability insurance policies are generally to be 1M, 2M, 5M or 10M although higher levels are on occasion necessary.<br />
<br />
The limit you select for the policy will be a question of your own particular opinion of what the highest exposure you face or as is commonly the situation a limit dictated to you by contractual obligation from an employer or principal contractor. Obviously the higher the limit under the insurance, the greater premiums will be required by the insurance company.<br />
<br />
Insurance companies will also try to narrow the field of activities and minimise the probability of claims under a policy by the imposition of endorsements and warranties under the contract. These changes to the cover may restrict certain aspects of work, such as height limits or may specify the health and safety and risk management techniques that should to be used in relation with certain kinds of job.<br />
<br />
As with all insurance contracts, it is essential that you study the cover with care and ensure that it meets with your requirements and that the endorsements and warranties on your policy are satisfactory to you. You insurance agent will be able to assist you with any questions concerning this.<br />
