Public Liability Insurance Policy
in Malaysia:
What You Need to Know

Public Liability Insurance protects
an individual and their business in case they are found legally
accountable to a third party. In general, it is a medium that guarantees set elements to injured parties under law.

Normally, such policies pay for any legal expenses, penalties
resulting from claims and even medical expenses if needed.

It only covers third party claims and not claims made by employees, as these come under employees liability insurance.

Should Your Business Have Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability insurance is an umbrella under which a large
variety of risks and situations are covered, and any business that deals with the general public takes it out to protect themselves against lawsuits.

In today’s litigious society, people are quick to file lawsuits when suffering any loss, damage to their property, or injury due to the negligence of a business. With a greater number of cases going to court, liability insurance has become broader in what it encompasses. The need for businesses to hold public liability insurance has increased over the last few years.

The insurance is essentially voluntary, with the exception of
some public events and facilities where the licensing authority makes it mandatory.

Additionally, organizations that operate voluntarily with the support of the local council are also required to carry public liability insurance.

Most businesses and organizations are becoming increasingly
aware of the potential to be sued and so consider public liability insurance an essential requirement. While it is now included in most business insurance packages like home, shop, restaurant and other insurance packages, it is also sold separately.

Who Needs Public Liability Insurance?

Professionals and business owners are generally the ones at the most risk of being sued, as they deal with a large client base on a regular basis. However, some professionals get greater benefit from taking out a public liability insurance policy than others. Any business, large or small, that interacts with customers at their place of business is at risk of being sued and so should make use of this protection. Also, note that the greater the number of people visiting the venue, the higher the risk.

Considering that just a single claim has the potential to
bankrupt a business or a professional, it is best to be protected.

Amount of Coverage & Other Facts

It is common for business owners to take public liability
insurance for the amount of RM 1 million, but RM 5 million packages are becoming increasingly popular. With more people willing to take businesses to court for the smallest mistakes, public liability insurance is no longer considered optional. In fact, some sites do not even allow tradesmen or sub-contractors on location unless they carry a Public Liability Insurance Certificate of Currency.

Within Malaysia, public liability insurance is fully portable,
meaning it covers an individual from site to site, as long as one
continues to work in the same trade. In case of a change of trade, it becomes necessary to inform the insurer or the policy may become void.

Additionally, every tradesman should have their own policy as
the head contractor’s policy many not be sufficient. At times, the head contractor’s insurer will make the pay-out on a claim, but then sue the sub-contractor to recover its money. Needless to say, different
occupations and situations have different risks, and the insurer must take those into consideration when writing a policy or note them accordingly to ensure that full coverage is provided to the policy holder.

Cost and Coverage of Public Liability Insurance

Public Liability insurance premiums are determined based on a number of different factors, including

The nature of the business or contract velue or sum insured cover amount.

The number of employees and contractors a business has.
At times, they even depend on the business turnover.
The larger the physical premises of a business and the more
employees there are, the higher the premiums are likely to be. The insurance rates depending on the insuring company.

Summary
Public liability focuses on civil wrong. The wronged person sues the owner on the basis of incidents of neglect. If the occupier or owner of an establishment is found to be responsible for the harm, damage or injury, the claimant wins and is awarded compensation.

Public liability insurance is without a doubt the most
justifiable cost for a business, as in its daily course of public
interactions it is under a continuous threat of being sued. A single law suit has the potential to financially ruin a business; public liability insurance offers protection.

Employers' Liability Insurance
Employer's Liability Insurance Policy is designed to provide indemnity to the Insured against his liability at law and claimants' cost for bodily injuries or diseases to Insured's Employees arising out of and in the course of their employment.

Scope of Cover

The Employer's Liability Insurance Policy indemnifies the Insured against liability at law to pay compensation and claimant's costs and expenses in respect of the bodily injury by accident or disease to the Insured's Employees for which he is liable and will in addition to pay all costs and expenses with the Company's written consent.

What Is Public Liability Insurance?
Public liability is a special form of insurance which is designed to protect business owners from the financial fallout that comes when things go wrong.

As a business owner there are dozens of different risks that you face every day. One of the biggest risks is that your business causes property damage or personal injury to a customer or member of the public.

What does public liability cover?
Your public liability insurance policy will cover you for the financial costs of a claim which involves personal injury or property damage to another person.

It is important to remember that public liability does not cover
personal injury to yourself or your staff, or damage to you or your staff’s property.

The best way to understand what is public liability insurance is to look at some examples of common claims.

Claims – Property Damage
There are many ways in which your business activities can result in damage to someone else’s property.
Damage which is generally covered by a public liability insurance policy includes damage which you cause directly, such as knocking over a valuable vase whilst working in someone’s house.

There can also be damage which occurs at a later date.

For example
you may have installed an electrical switch in a home, then two weeks later the house could be damaged due to you installing the wiring incorrectly.

Claims – Personal Injury
Personal injury claims are often the most financially damaging when it comes to public liability.

Common public liability claims for business owners can include a customer or visitor tripping and falling whilst on your business
premises, where it can be shown that the fall was due to the actions (or inaction) of your business.

How much does public liability cover?
Public liability policies are available in a range of sizes. Here in Malaysia you can generally obtain a policy in the following sizes:

RM 1,000,000
RM 2,000,000
RM 5,000,000
RM 10,000,000
RM 20,000,000

Some insurers also issue policies of RM 15 million, however those listed above are the most common.
In special circumstances it is possible to obtain a public liability insurance policy for a larger amount, however this is generally not required for most businesses unless they are doing something out of the ordinary.

Public Liability Quotes By ACPG Managment Sdn Bhd (ACPG)
Once you have made the decision to take out a public liability insurance policy for your business or organization, the next step is to obtain quotes.

Obtaining quotes is an important part of the public liability process, as you need to budget for the cost of the insurance, as well as compare various quotes to ensure you are getting the best value for money.

Do it properly
There is no point in looking for public liability quotes if you don’t know exactly what cover you need for your business.

You could of course just take out the cheapest public liability
insurance policy you can find, but if the policy is not suitable for your business then you are just wasting your money anyway.

So before you start looking for quotes, you first need to do you research and find out which type of public liability policy is going to suit your needs best.

If you are unsure of which type of policy you should choose, it is recommended that you speak with an insurance broker. In most cases the broker can also obtain the quotes for you if wish.

Obtaining quotes
There are a few different ways in which you can obtain quotes on your public liability cover.

Many business owners and operators obtain quotes from a qualified insurance broker.

This is certainly a good option, as you can rely on the expertise of the broker to help you choose the right policy.

The only downside to using a broker is that they will generally
charge you an additional fee for their service, but many business owners find this fee worthwhile due to the service and advice that they receive.

For business owners who are comfortable in researching and choosing their cover themselves, another option for obtaining quotes is to go online.

There are various websites which provide quotes for public liability insurance.
Some are owned by the insurance companies, whilst some are owned by independent groups.

Going ahead Once you have gathered all of your public liability quotes the next step is to proceed with the cover and get your business protected.
The good news is that however you get your quotes, the same method will be available to proceed with the insurance if you wish.

ACPG insurance professional consultant can help you through the application and proposal process, and many of the websites offering quotes also have online application systems available.

For more information or to obtain quotes on your public liability insurance please contact ACPG insurance professional consultant.

Domestic Appliance Installation Public Liability
Public Liability Insurance is an insurance policy where a tradesman can insure against any third party injury or any third party property damage that they may cause during the course of their work. Although this is not an insurance that is legally compulsory you will find that most companies are now insisting that this be in place before you can undertake any work for them, this could even result in them withholding any monies that you have earned until you show them the insurance schedule.

A Domestic Appliance Installer obviously has to go into homes and businesses alike to deal with their property and may come in to contact with their equipment and therefore they could either accidentally cause damage to the property they are going in to do the work for example if they were to knock anything over or if they were to accidentally damage any part of the building that they weren't actually doing the work on.

The second part of cover that you can get as a Domestic Appliance Installer is if whilst doing your job you was to injure any person around you, the most obvious way this can happen is if you leave any tools, leads or toolboxes lying around and someone was to trip over them, they would then hold you responsible for their injuries and this is where the insurance policy would step in and cover you.

There are three levels of cover that you can usually get with this type of insurance starting at one millions ringgit worth of cover and rising to either two million or five
million. Prices for working in non-hazardous areas generally will be around about reasonable and affordable insurance premium cost for the year, obviously if you were to get higher than the lowest level of cover then you would pay more for this. There are also rare occasions where you can get ten million ringgit of cover but usually that would have to be for specific job and there are only a few insurers that will cover it,

When you consider that if something was to go wrong then you could get left paying the costs of any incident where someone may hold you liable then the prices above don't seem so steep to pay once every year compared to a claim that you could get stuck with that could run in to thousands of ringgit depending on how serious the incident is.
