Understanding Your Cover – Rathmines

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover covers your business across Rathmines when a client, contractor, or third party sustains property damage or bodily injury 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 Rathmines business could be directly liable for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that can easily reach six figures. Businesses across Rathmines also demand proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

Your public liability cover in Rathmines can include:

  • Slip and fall accidents at your Rathmines business premises or job site
  • Property damage arising from your operations
  • Bodily injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Court-ordered compensation
