Understanding Your Cover – One Mile

Public Liability Insurance Explained

Public liability cover protects your business in One Mile when a client, contractor, or third party suffers property damage or bodily injury 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 personally liable for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many industries also demand proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

  • Property damage caused by you or your team
  • Bodily injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Claims arising from offsite work across One Mile
