Understanding Your Cover – Strathdale

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability cover protects your business across Strathdale when a client, contractor, or third party sustains property damage or bodily injury as a result of your business operations, whether at your premises, a worksite, or anywhere you operate.

Without public liability insurance, your Strathdale business could be held financially responsible for legal fees, compensation claims, and court costs that run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many industries also demand proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

Public liability insurance in Strathdale typically covers:

  • Slip, trip and fall incidents on your property or a client’s site
  • Damage to a client’s property arising from your operations
  • Personal injury claims connected to your business activities
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Claims arising from offsite work across Strathdale


Without public liability insurance for your Strathdale business, your company may be exposed for substantial out-of-pocket costs, with no safety net to fall back on.
