Understanding Your Cover

What Is Liability Insurance?

Public & Products Liability Insurance protects businesses against claims for personal injury or property damage suffered by third parties as a result of business activities or products supplied.

Claims can arise from everyday incidents — from a customer slipping at your premises to a product causing injury long after it has been sold. This insurance helps cover legal defence costs, compensation payments and settlements, protecting your business’s finances, reputation and ability to continue operating.

Is This For You?

Note: Any business that interacts with the public, occupies premises, performs on-site work or supplies products should consider this cover essential.

How Liability Insurance Is Structured

Policy Structure

Public & Products Liability Insurance is typically written on an occurrence basis, covering incidents that occur during the policy period—even if claims are made later. It responds to third-party bodily injury and property damage arising from business operations or supplied products.

Key Features

Limits apply per occurrence and in the aggregate, with an excess payable per claim. Products liability generally shares the overall policy limit. Limits commonly range from $5M to $20M, depending on contractual and industry requirements.
