Understanding Your Cover – Berri

Understanding Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance safeguards your business across Berri when a customer, supplier, or member of the public suffers personal injury or property damage as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without public liability cover, your Berri 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 require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Public liability insurance in Berri typically covers:

  • Slip and fall accidents at your Berri business premises or job site
  • Property damage resulting from your business activities
  • Bodily injury claims arising from your operations
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability insurance for your Berri business, your business may be personally liable for devastating financial consequences, with no safety net to fall back on.
