Understanding Your Cover – Valentine

Understanding Public Liability Insurance

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

Without public liability cover, your business could be directly liable for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that can easily reach six figures. Most industries also require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Public liability insurance in Valentine typically covers:

  • Slips, trips and falls on your property or a client’s site
  • Client property damage resulting from your business activities
  • Personal injury claims stemming from your work
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Valentine


Without public liability cover in Valentine, your company may be personally liable for substantial out-of-pocket costs, putting everything you’ve built at risk.
