What is Public Liability Insurance?

 

Public liability insurance is one of the most common types of insurance a tradie will take out as it will protect you if damage is caused to someone else’s property or if there is an injury to a third party while working on a job site. While it is not a legal requirement it is often a contractual requirement and can provide financial support if a third party makes a claim against you.

A Third Party can be:

  • the general public (such as someone lawfully visiting your premises or worksite)
  • your customers, their property and their possessions
  • suppliers and contractors

The costs of a potential claim against you from a third party could be crippling to your finances and your business. This is why public liability is often a contract requirement in many industries and a prerequisite for providing services to customers.

How much does Public Liability Insurance Cost?
