What is Public Liability Insurance?
At its core, Public Liability insurance is a safety net. It covers compensation costs and defence fees should you inadvertently cause injury to someone or damage their property in the course of your work activities.
Whether you're a photographer, artist, designer or any other creative, this insurance provides cover so that mishaps don't overshadow your work.
Why One Day Public Liability Insurance?
Every event, no matter how short, carries its own set of risks. A lot can happen in 24 hours, and it's essential to be prepared for the unexpected. Here are some real-world scenarios where having one-day Public Liability insurance can be the right option for you:
Pop-Up Shop Mishaps
Imagine you've set up a pop-up shop for a day. The floor accidentally becomes wet and before you have a chance to clean it up a customer slips and injures themselves. With one-day Public Liability insurance, you could be covered for any potential claims brought against you from a member of the public.
Workshop Woes
You're hosting a one-day workshop and a participant accidentally knocks over a stand, damaging someone else's belongings. Your one-day cover can mean you're not out of pocket for the damages.
One-Day Shoot Cover
You are working on a one-day photoshoot for a brand on a busy street. As you are lining up a shot you bump into a member of the public and damage their phone. Public Liability from Mode Insurance can protect you against claims resulting from damage or injury you or your business causes to the public.
Venue Damages
You've rented a venue for a day-long seminar. During the event, a piece of your equipment falls and damages the venue's floor. Your one-day Public Liability insurance covers the repair costs, ensuring your relationship with the venue remains intact.
These examples underscore the unpredictable nature of events, no matter how well-planned. One-day Public Liability insurance provides cover so that, while the event may be temporary, your peace of mind is constant.

Public Liability Insurance for Events
If you are participating in an event – for example as a stallholder – then you may be subject to a different set of risks. Temporary Public Liability insurance for the day could:
- Cover you in case someone trips over your display or gets injured by your equipment.
- Protect against damage claims if you accidentally damage a venue's property or another exhibitor's booth.
- Fulfil event requirements as many event organisers require participants to have their own Public Liability insurance.
Each event represents a blend of meticulous planning, dedication and eager anticipation, particularly when it's a unique and one-off occasion. However, no matter how well-planned they are, all events carry the possibility of unexpected mishaps.
Mode Insurance can provide tailored Public Liability insurance for your one-off event so that it is remembered positively.
This can also include Public Liability insurance for market stalls, whether you have a market stall at an event for one day, several days or even a month or more. The market organiser may require you to have a valid public liability insurance policy in place, or you may want to purchase a temporary policy for your own peace of mind.

Public Liability Insurance FAQs
Below we have listed the most common questions we get from self-employed creatives about Public Liability Insurance. For more information, read our guide: Public Liability Insurance: Everything You Need to Know
Do I need Public Liability insurance?
Whether you need Public Liability insurance depends on the nature of your business.

This could be as simple as working from a coffee shop, all the way to working in a large stadium or event space.
How much Public Liability insurance cover do I need?
The amount of coverage you need depends on your business type, size and the specific risks involved. Typically, businesses opt for cover ranging from £1 million to £5 million, but it's best to assess your individual business needs.

Is Public Liability insurance a legal requirement?
No, Public Liability insurance is not a legal requirement for most businesses in the UK. However, it is often recommended due to the financial protection it offers against claims from the public.
You may also find that Public Liability insurance is required by some clients, suppliers and partners before you work with them.
Is Public Liability insurance tax deductible?
Yes, Public Liability insurance is typically tax deductible as a business expense. This means the cost can be offset against your business's taxable profits.

We recommend speaking to your accountant about this if you have more questions.
Does Public Liability insurance cover damage to a client's property?
Yes, Public Liability insurance typically covers accidental damage to a client's property caused by your business activities, offering financial protection against such claims.
Some exclusions do apply so we always recommend you check your policy documents for more information.
What is the difference between Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance?
Public Liability insurance covers injury or damage to third parties and their property, while Professional Indemnity insurance protects against claims of professional negligence or poor advice.
Can you get Public Liability insurance for a month?
Yes, it is possible to get Public Liability insurance for one month if that is all you need cover for. However, at this length of time it’s also worth checking to see if it is more cost-effective to purchase a yearly policy – especially if you think you may need several temporary policies over the course of a year.
What is the minimum Public Liability insurance in the UK?
In the UK there is no legally mandated minimum level for Public Liability insurance. Depending on where you work and if someone is asking for you to have insurance in place, £5,000,000 is usually a widely accepted amount.
Some large venues like sports stadiums, arenas, conference buildings and other large-scale venues may require you to have £10,000,000 of cover in place.
What happens if I don't have Public Liability insurance?
Without Public Liability insurance, you could be financially responsible for any claims made against you for injuries or damages caused during your event or business activities.
A claim could be brought against you for compensation and the costs and expenses someone has incurred. This can lead to significant financial strain, especially if the claims are substantial.
Is Public Liability insurance mandatory for events in the UK?
While not legally mandatory, many venues and organisations may require you to have public liability insurance to attend and work at the event, as it can protect against claims for injuries or damages occurring on the premises.
