Most Civil Engineers start with public liability insurance. If you employ staff, you're legally required to hold employers’ liability insurance. Depending on your work, you may also need cover for tools, personal injury, professional indemnity or contract works.
Civil Engineers public liability insurance starts from £149.95 per year or £12.50 per month via Direct Debit (if your premium is over £200). Final costs depend on the work you do and the cover levels you choose.

Site damage, injury and tools claims: practical help when a job goes wrong.
A customer alleging damage, an injury on site or a tools theft claim can stop the next job cold. Even before an official claim is lodged, the legal advisors we work with can help you understand what to photograph, keep and report.
Our advisors guide you through preparation and how to protect yourself while the claim progresses. See our step-by-step claims guide for what to do first. Most policies require you to notify your insurer using the details on your schedule.

A painter and decorator was finishing a job in a house with a newly laid carpet. They accidentally dropped an open tin of gloss with obvious results. The customer claimed the cost of the carpet and the labour to re-fit a new one.
Public liability insurance covered legal expenses and the compensation awarded.
A structural engineer was tasked with calculating the amount of steel beams and lintels required for a commercial building. During construction it became apparent that the calculations were wrong and the steel would not hold the required load. The project had to be restarted, resulting in a heavy financial loss and large claims against the engineer.
Professional indemnity cover paid the claim and helped keep the engineer in business.
A scaffolding business had scaffolded a house without securing it properly. In strong winds the scaffolding collapsed onto the next door neighbour's house, destroying a large section of the roof.
Public liability insurance covered the claim made against the business.
A kitchen fitter was fitting cupboards and accidentally knelt on a client's new electric hob, causing it to crack.
Public liability insurance covered the claim for a replacement hob and fitting costs.
A commercial carpet cleaning company was cleaning an office carpet when the heat was too high, which shrunk and discoloured the carpet.
Tradesman insurance covered the compensation claim for a new carpet and fitting costs.
Professional indemnity insurance is important for civil Engineers who provide advice, plans, or professional services. It protects you if a client suffers financial loss due to a mistake in your work. Cover can be taken on its own or added to a wider policy. We offer limits of indemnity from £50,000 up to £5 million.
This is usually the core of a civil Engineer insurance policy. Public liability insurance protects you if someone is injured or property is damaged due to your work. We offer limits of indemnity from £1 million to £10 million to meet a wide range of client and contract requirements.
If you employ staff, even part-time or temporary workers, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement. It covers claims from employees who become ill or are injured through their work with you. This is especially important for high-risk trades like construction, engineering, or industrial work.
