Understanding Your Cover – Vermont

What is Public Liability Cover?

Public liability insurance shields your business in Vermont when a customer, supplier, or member of the public sustains personal injury or property damage as a result of your business activities, whether on-site, at a client’s location, or anywhere your work takes you.

Without public liability cover, your company could be directly liable for legal defence costs, compensation payouts, and associated expenses that can easily reach six figures. Businesses across Vermont also require proof of cover before you can sign contracts or open your doors.

Public liability insurance in Vermont typically covers:

  • Slips, trips and falls on your property or a client’s site
  • Client property damage arising from your operations
  • Personal injury claims stemming from your work
  • Legal fees and court costs
  • Compensation payouts ordered by a court
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability insurance in Vermont, your business may be personally liable for substantial out-of-pocket costs, leaving your business financially vulnerable.

Offsite Work Coverage

For businesses in Vermont that work at client sites, public spaces, or multiple locations, offsite cover is essential. Whether you’re working at a client’s home, a commercial site, a public venue, or any other location outside of Vermont, your policy covers incidents that occur in the course of your work. Disclosing the full scope of your operations ensures your Vermont business is protected no matter where the work is carried out.
