Understanding Your Cover – Caversham

What is Public Liability Insurance?

Public liability insurance covers your business across Caversham when a client, contractor, or third party sustains personal injury or property damage as a result of your day-to-day operations, whether at your Caversham premises, a job site, or a public location.

Without public liability insurance, your Caversham business could be personally liable for defence costs, damages, and related expenses that could devastate your business finances. Businesses across Caversham also demand proof of cover before you can legally trade or win contracts.

Your public liability cover in Caversham can include:

  • Slip and fall accidents on your property or a client’s site
  • Client property damage resulting from your business activities
  • Third-party injury claims arising from your operations
  • Legal defence costs and court representation
  • Court-ordered compensation
  • Incidents at client sites or public locations


Without public liability cover for your Caversham business, your company may be exposed for substantial out-of-pocket costs, leaving your business financially vulnerable.

The level of public liability insurance required depends on your industry, risk exposure, turnover and contractual obligations. Most small businesses choose between 5 million, 10 million or 20 million dollars in cover. Higher-risk industries such as construction often require 20 million dollars, while lower-risk service providers may only require 5 million dollars.
