Management Liability Insurance

Managing a company exposes you to the risk of finding yourself the subject of a lawsuit, which is where management liability cover comes in. It offers protection against allegations of occupational health and safety breaches, employee discrimination, financial mismanagement, illegal conduct, and breaches of directors’ and officer’s duties. This policy offers cover for a host of essential features.

Public Liability Insurance

This insurance is designed for businesses who interact with their clients or members of the general public. If a third party suffers an injury or property damage as a result of your activities, they may choose to sue you for damage. A public liability insurance policy provides protection against such claims, covering your legal costs and any compensation you are required to pay.

Product Liability Insurance

Similar to public liability cover, this policy offers protection when a third party accuses you of causing them to suffer a personal injury or property damage. However, this form of cover is designed for businesses that sell products to their customers. It will ensure that you don’t have to pay any legal or court costs.

Personal Insurance

Aon also offers insurance solutions to suit the needs of a wide range of consumers. Products offered include home and contents cover, car insurance, landlords insurance, boat insurance, caravan insurance and travel insurance.
