Landowners Insurance – Woodland
LANDOWNERS Insurance for woodland will protect you if anyone makes a claim against you whilst on your land, whether permitted or not.
Landowners Insurance is Liability Insurance
Very simply, liability insurance protects you against people claiming against you. If someone trips, falls, drowns, gets hit by a branch or suffers any sort of injury whilst on your land, permitted or not, then landowners Insurance will either pay out or repudiate the claim on your behalf.
Liability Insurance does not always pay out
If your are not liable then the liability insurance will not payout. Why would it? The issue was not your fault. An example of this for woodland landowners insurance is a storm blowing over a tree. That is an act of God. The weather is not your responsibility.
Contrarily, if a person trips on an unmarked fallen tree, then you may be liable as you had not highlighted the obstacle. If you are liable, then your insurance will settle the claim.
