Public Liability vs Professional Indemnity vs Products Liability

Public liability covers injury to other people and damage to their property. Professional indemnity covers claims arising from advice or professional services. Products liability covers claims caused by products you sell or supply. Many businesses need more than one, and public and products liability are often bundled together. Our brokers can help you work out the right combination.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about public liability insurance in Townsville and QLD.

What is public liability insurance in QLD?

Public liability insurance protects your business if a customer, client or member of the public is injured or has their property damaged because of your business activities. It can help cover legal costs and compensation, up to your policy limit.

What does public liability insurance cover?

Public liability insurance generally covers third-party injury, third-party property damage and related legal costs. It does not usually cover injury to your own employees, professional advice errors or damage to your own property. Exclusions vary by policy, so check your policy documents.

How much public liability insurance do I need?

Most businesses choose a limit of $5 million, $10 million or $20 million, depending on their industry and contract requirements. Some clients or head contractors specify a minimum. Our brokers can help you choose a suitable limit.

Can I customise my public liability policy?

Yes, in many cases. You can often adjust your limit, excess and optional extensions to suit your business. Available options depend on the insurer and your trade, so we compare policies before you decide.

How do public liability claims work?

If a third party makes a claim against you, notify your insurer or broker as soon as possible and avoid admitting fault. Your insurer assesses the claim and, if it is covered, may pay for legal costs and compensation up to your policy limit. We can help you lodge a claim.

Do I need public liability insurance as a sole trader?

Public liability insurance is not always a legal requirement for sole traders, but many clients, councils, landlords and head contractors require it before you start work. Even where it isn’t required, one claim without cover can be costly, so most sole traders choose to hold it.

How much does public liability insurance cost in QLD?

The cost depends on your industry, turnover, staff numbers and cover limit. Higher-risk trades usually pay more than lower-risk businesses. A broker can compare quotes for your situation.

Do market stallholders need public liability insurance?

Most markets and event organisers require stallholders to hold public liability insurance and show a certificate of currency. We can help arrange cover for regular stalls and one-off events.

What is the difference between public liability and public and products liability?

Public liability covers injury or property damage caused by your business activities. Products liability extends to claims caused by products you sell or supply. Many businesses that sell goods take both together.
