Insurance for Tradesmen

Public Liability*

Don’t get stuck between a wall and hard place by not having Public Liability insurance. It’s a crucial form of cover to protect you and your business against claims arising from third party property damage and accidental injury (not covered by the ACC).

Even if you’re the best in business, accidents can and do happen – it could be knocking down the wrong wall or accidentally damaging an expensive piece of artwork. So don’t be a tool and get yourself the right cover for when things go a little haywire.

If you’re working as a contractor or are a member of a trade association, make sure you check to see if there’s a minimum level of cover required.
