What is landowners liability insurance?

Alongside the advantages of land ownership there are also disadvantages.

We no longer live in a society where people take responsibility for their own actions and as such It is unfortunate that if someone was to injure themselves whilst on your land (whether they be there for legitimate reasons or trespassing) that you could be held liable.

Landowners liability insurance covers your legal liability towards members of the public following an accident or incident whilst on the insured’s land. Liability insurance provides protection from claims brought about from third parties in the event of injury to or damage to their property caused by the insured’s negligence.

You may never have considered it, however, there are many risks associated with land ownership. In today’s litigious society having adequate public liability insurance for land owners protection in place has never been more prudent.

You could be held liable should there be an injury to someone or damage to their property whilst on your land – even if they weren’t supposed to be there – if you are a land owner or are legally responsible for maintaining land then, you could be held accountable for any incidents that occur on your property.
