What is Public Liability Insurance

Where you are liable for damages relating the someone's financial loss, the insurance provider will cover the costs of the claim provided that it falls within the guidelines of your chosen policy. Of course you should refer to the PDS (Product Disclosure Statement) to ensure your chosen policy meets all of your needs before taking out the cover.
