Understanding Your Cover – Blackett

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability cover covers your business throughout Blackett when a client, contractor, or third party suffers personal injury or property damage as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether on-site, at a client’s location, or anywhere your work takes you.

Without public liability cover, your business could be personally liable for legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and associated expenses that could devastate your business finances. Most industries also require proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

A public liability policy in Blackett generally protects you against:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your Blackett business premises or job site
  • Client property damage caused by you or your team
  • Bodily injury claims stemming from your work
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability insurance for your Blackett business, your business may be exposed for substantial out-of-pocket costs, leaving your business financially vulnerable.
