What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability cover covers your business in Black Rock when a customer, supplier, or member of the public experiences injury or property damage as a result of your business operations, whether at your Black Rock premises, a job site, or a public location.

  • Client property damage caused by you or your team
  • Personal injury claims stemming from your work
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
