Understanding Your Cover – Glengarry

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover safeguards your business across Glengarry when a client, contractor, or third party suffers 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 Glengarry business could be directly liable for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that could devastate your business finances. Businesses across Glengarry also demand proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Your public liability cover in Glengarry can include:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Damage to a client’s property resulting from your business activities
  • Third-party injury claims stemming from your work
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Offsite incidents while working at client premises or public locations


Without public liability insurance for your Glengarry business, your company may be exposed for significant financial losses, with no safety net to fall back on.
