Understanding Your Cover – Oatlands

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability insurance protects your business across Oatlands when a customer, supplier, or member of the public sustains injury or property damage as a result of your business operations, whether at your Oatlands premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability insurance, your business could be held financially responsible for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most industries also demand proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

A public liability policy in Oatlands generally protects you against:

  • Slip and fall accidents at your Oatlands business premises or job site
  • Property damage resulting from your business activities
  • Bodily injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


Without public liability insurance for your Oatlands business, your business may be exposed for significant financial losses, with no safety net to fall back on.

Property Damage Liability

Accidents happen, and when your business activities result in damage to a client’s or third party’s property, your cover steps in to meet those costs so your Oatlands business is never left exposed.

Your policy covers legal defence costs in full, giving your Oatlands business the financial backing to defend any claim brought against it.
