Market Trading and Insurance Posted: 01 Mar 2012 04:55 PM PST When it comes to market trading, insurance becomes even more of a necessity because the risks to the public when trading in a market are even more numerous than in any other business. Market trader's public liability insurance is critical to protecting yourself and your business from any legal cases which may appear from an injured member of the public. Is it Compulsory? Technically, public liability insurance for market traders, and most other trades for that matter, is not required by law. However, few businesses decide to forgo public liability insurance because the risks are too great, and an injured member of the public will have no issue with making a legal challenge in this day and age. Is it Worth It? Absolutely. For market traders, there are numerous risks which may occur, and all of these are liabilities which could potentially injure a member of the public in some way. For example, the supplier could supply faulty products, a supply box could be left out in the open where a member of the public could trip over it, the stall itself could injure a member of the public in some way, in other words, the liabilities are endless. What Does Liability Insurance Cover? Market trader's public liability insurance can protect you against the following things which may arise from a legal challenge or any injury or illness sustained by a member of the public. • Any compensation or damages awarded by the courts can be paid out of the public liability insurance itself. • If a legal claim is made and you lose then the insurance will pay for any and all legal costs involved; this includes your legal costs and the claimant's legal costs. • Any loss of earnings which could arise out of the whole incident. • Any potential lost of future earnings which could arise out of the whole incident. Where Can I Find the Best Prices? When it comes to public liability insurance there is no way to give an accurate price because each individual's situation is different. This is why online comparison sites are a great tool to finding a best deal because it's easy to enter relevant and accurate information, which will then bring up a selection of potential insurers which can then be investigated further.
