Understanding Your Cover – Stafford

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability cover safeguards your business throughout Queensland when a customer, supplier, or member of the public sustains personal injury or property damage as a result of your business operations, whether at your Queensland premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability insurance, your business could be held financially responsible for legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and associated expenses that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Businesses across Queensland also require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

A public liability policy in Queensland generally protects you against:

  • Slip and fall accidents at your premises or worksite
  • Client property damage caused by you or your team
  • Third-party injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Damages and compensation settlements
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


Without public liability cover in Queensland, your business may be exposed for significant financial losses, with no safety net to fall back on.
