Understanding Your Cover – Burra

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover shields your business across Burra when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public suffers personal injury or property damage as a result of your business activities, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without public liability cover, your Burra business could be directly liable 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 Burra typically covers:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Client property damage resulting from your business activities
  • Third-party injury claims arising from your operations
  • Defence costs and legal representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Burra


Without public liability cover for your Burra business, your business may be exposed for devastating financial consequences, leaving your business financially vulnerable.
