Understanding Your Cover – Port Fairy

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover covers your business throughout Port Fairy when a supplier, visitor, or member of the public sustains 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 public liability insurance, your business could be held financially responsible for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Businesses across Port Fairy also require proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

  • Slips, trips and falls at your premises or worksite
  • Property damage arising from your operations
  • Third-party injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Damages and compensation settlements
