Understanding Your Cover – Abbotsford

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover shields your business in Abbotsford when a client, contractor, or third party suffers property damage or bodily injury as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether at your Abbotsford premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability cover, your Abbotsford business could be personally liable for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that can easily reach six figures. Many industries also demand proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

A public liability policy in Abbotsford generally protects you against:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Property damage resulting from your business activities
  • Personal injury claims stemming from your work
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Damages and compensation settlements
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Abbotsford


Without public liability insurance for your Abbotsford business, your company may be personally liable for devastating financial consequences, putting everything you’ve built at risk.
