Understanding Your Cover – Fitzgibbon

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability insurance shields your business in Fitzgibbon when a customer, supplier, or member of the public experiences personal injury or property damage as a result of your business operations, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without the right public liability cover, your business could be directly liable for legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and associated expenses that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most industries also demand proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Your public liability cover in Fitzgibbon can include:

  • Slip and fall accidents at your premises or worksite
  • Damage to a client’s property resulting from your business activities
  • Personal injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


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