Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, security liability insurance has been difficult to place due to a number of insurers and underwriting agencies no longer offering this cover.
This is mainly due to poor performance meaning that the exposure became too great for some insurers to still offer this cover due to the cost of claims outweighing the premium collected.
It is not uncommon for security companies to engage in multiple business activities. Insurers will usually ask for an overall percentage split of what business you do and will usually be able to cater to your requirements.
If however, your business has a too high of a percentage in certain activities then they may not be able to provide you cover.
When quoting for public liability insurance for security guards most of the main insurers won’t provide a quote for any security operations. Some will provide a quote and apply endorsements to the policy that limits their exposure to certain types of claims.
This is why your security liability insurance should be placed with an insurer that has a tailored policy for your industry.
It is quite difficult to respond to this, and until an overview of your activity is supplied, no generic price can be given.
Depending on your activities, we contact a number of insurers to make sure you have a high-quality insurance policy at a reasonable cost.
It is true that licencing standards exist, however they may vary from state to state. In general, you will be required to submit a certificate of insurance for your security public liability insurance coverage when applying for a security licence.
Subcontractors typically need to carry their own public liability insurance, whereas employees are covered by your security liability insurance.
While your insurer will probably react to a claim brought about by a contractor’s negligence, they often have a duty under your policy that they maintain their own coverage apart from yours. Contractors are treated as separate business organisations.
