Business Liability Insurance

Running a business is a great responsibility as it means you can be held legally liable if your business activities or employees accidentally damage someone else’s property or injure someone. We’ve got you covered with our three types of liability insurance to help you protect yourself and your business.

What business liability insurance is right for your business?

Public and Products Liability Insurance

Statutory Liability Insurance

Sometimes accidents happen which cause you to unintentionally breach an Act. This type of insurance covers defence costs and fines ordered against you, up to your policy limit.

  • Cleaners

Employers Liability Insurance

If your employee gets injured at work and you’re found legally liable, we’ll pay for the damages awarded against you that aren’t covered by the ACC, up to your policy limit.

Optional extras

Defective workmanship

With our Public and Products Liability Insurance, you can add cover for defective workmanship up to $500,000. This provides cover if you are found legally liable to pay compensation for accidental damage to the property you have been directly working on. A $1,000 excess will apply to any claim for defective workmanship.

Defence costs

You can choose to add extra cover for defence costs with our Statutory Liability Insurance and our Employers Liability Insurance. This optional extra covers any defence cost involving a charge under Section 9 of the Law Reform Act 1936.
