As a scientific researcher, having adequate insurance is vital to protect you when carrying out studies, lab analysis, fieldwork and clinical trials. Our public liability cover shields you if injury or property damage occurs while undertaking research activities.
For example, you could face substantial pay-outs if a study volunteer suffers harm during an experiment you are responsible for.
As a scientific researcher, you may interact directly with members of the public if carrying out clinical trials, surveys and observational studies involving human participants. Accidents can easily occur, potentially leading to serious harm or injury claims if you lack adequate insurance.
