Your legal liability may prove costly

Public Liability Insurance protects your legal liability to third parties, including clients, customers and the public for injury or damage to their property, caused by the business. Accidents can be difficult to control and the costs of compensation in addition to legal fees can be critically damaging to a business.

Public Liability insurance is strongly recommended for all business owners.

Products Liability is part of the Public Liability policy and helps cover you in the event a claim is made against a business and the product it grows, sells, assembles, supplies or promotes.

 

There are often exclusions, deductibles and limits which apply, so contact an Avoca Insurance Broker to discuss your specific insurance needs.
