Understanding Your Cover – Lewiston

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover shields your business throughout Lewiston when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public experiences injury or property damage as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without the right public liability cover, your Lewiston business could be directly liable for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that can easily reach six figures. Many industries also demand proof of cover before you can tender for work or operate legally.

Public liability insurance in Lewiston typically covers:

  • Slips, trips and falls at your premises or worksite
  • Client property damage caused by you or your team
  • Personal injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Lewiston


Without public liability insurance for your Lewiston business, your business may be exposed for significant financial losses, putting everything you’ve built at risk.
