Employer Liability
Employers Liability cover responds to court cases filed by employees against their employers.
- Employers Liability cover is bought as an additional to WIBA. With reference to above, following the implementation of the WIBA Act 2007 Employers Liability policies were phased out as the injured worker could only claim compensation under the new Act.
- However, following the ruling by the High Court of Kenya on 04/03/2009 an injured worker could still file a case in court for compensation to an injury under common law.
- As such Employers Liability cover is essential to safe guard employers against common law cases filed by employees against employers.
