Understanding Your Cover – McCrae

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability insurance shields your business throughout McCrae when a client, contractor, or third party suffers property damage or bodily injury as a result of your business operations, whether on-site, at a client’s location, or anywhere your work takes you.

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

Your public liability cover in McCrae can include:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents at your premises or worksite
  • Damage to a client’s property resulting from your business activities
  • 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


Without public liability cover for your McCrae business, your company may be personally liable for significant financial losses, leaving your business financially vulnerable.
