Understanding Your Cover – Merimbula

Public Liability Insurance Explained

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

Without public liability insurance, your company could be directly liable for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most industries also require proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

Your public liability cover in Merimbula can include:

  • Slips, trips and falls at your Merimbula business premises or job site
  • Client property damage arising from your operations
  • Personal injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Damages and compensation settlements
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability cover for your Merimbula business, your business may be exposed for substantial out-of-pocket costs, with no safety net to fall back on.
