What is Public Liability Insurance?
Public liability insurance is commonly held by businesses in Queensland to provide coverage for certain incidents that may occur on their premises. This type of insurance is designed to manage risks associated with injuries or accidents in public or privately owned spaces.
Claims made under public liability insurance are generally directed to the insurer rather than the business itself. The specific coverage and processes involved will depend on the policy and circumstances of the incident.
