Understanding Your Cover – Glenelg

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability insurance protects your business throughout Glenelg when a customer, supplier, or member of the public experiences 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 Glenelg business could be directly 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.

A public liability policy in Glenelg generally protects you against:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents on your property or a client’s site
  • Damage to a client’s property caused by you or your team
  • Bodily injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Damages and compensation settlements
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations
