Overview
Employer’s Liability is a stand-alone insurance cover that addresses the legal costs that a company may face if they are sued by their employees. An employer may be legally liable to provide expenses to his workers for any personal injury, sickness or death by accident arising out of and during the course of employment. That’s why it’s important that businesses carry insurance that will cover them against these claims.
