These two types of liability are similar but not quite the same. However, they are equally important and we recommend you have both. Public liability covers you should a customer have an accident on your premises and decide to hold you responsible and take legal action. Products liability on the other hand, covers you should a customer take action against you because takeaway food you’ve sold has made them ill or injured them in some way.
