Public liability insurance in Norwich

Norwich is a long-standing insurance and financial-services centre — the historic home of Aviva — with a substantial agriculture and food-production economy in its hinterland, a research-and-technology cluster at the Norwich Research Park, and a busy retail and university city at its core. Public liability — cover for third-party injury or damage to the public's property — spans offices, research sites and the city centre.

Where the claims come from in Norwich

The city's large insurance and financial-services employers run office estates that receive visitors and contractors daily. The Norwich Research Park and its science and technology firms run labs and offices with investor, partner and public footfall. The surrounding agriculture and food-production sector carries third-party exposure through processing sites and deliveries, and the city-centre retail, market and university bring dense public footfall liability.

A Norwich example

A food-processing business takes a delivery at its site. A vehicle manoeuvring in a shared area injures a member of the public passing nearby. The business's public liability responds — the third-party exposure processing and food sites carry around their loading and delivery points.

What the cover does

Public liability pays compensation and legal costs where your business is responsible for injury to the public or damage to their property. Norwich's office, research and food-sector contracts set the limit — commonly £5m, and higher for processing and industrial sites.
