Both public liability and employers’ liability insurance are business covers that can pay out if your business faces a compensation claim for injury. The difference is that public liability insurance covers claims made by a third party (i.e. a member of the public like a client, customer, supplier or passerby), while employers’ liability insurance covers injury claims made by an employee.
