Public liability insurance in Falmouth

Falmouth has one of the world's great natural harbours, a major ship-repair and marine-engineering industry, a maritime and tourism trade, and a university strong in art and design. Public liability — cover for third-party injury or damage to the public's property — spans the docks, marine businesses and the town.

Where the claims come from in Falmouth

The town's ship-repair, docks and marine-engineering operators carry heavy third-party exposure — works, plant and vessels affecting other operators and third-party property around the harbour. Its tourism and hospitality trade brings seasonal footfall, the university adds campus and public footfall, and sailing and events add activity exposure.

A Falmouth example

A ship-repair contractor working in the docks damages a third party's vessel during a lift. The contractor's public liability meets the claim — the concentrated third-party exposure marine-engineering and ship-repair work carries in a busy harbour.

What the cover does

Public liability meets compensation and legal costs where your business is responsible for injury to a third party or damage to their property. Falmouth's marine, docks and engineering contracts frequently require £5m or £10m limits, set by the operators and principals they work under.
