Commercial Liability

Public liability insurance covers your business in the case of a customer or member of the public suffering a physical loss or injury as a result of business activities with your company, should they choose to make a claim for compensation. This insurance can cover compensation payments, as well as legal fees. Getting public liability cover will allow you to operate your business, without the worry of not being able to cover costs should anything happen to a customer or client.
Statutory liability cover will ensure that should you accidentally breach most statutory acts of parliament, such as health and safety regulations, the Privacy Act, the Human Rights Act, the Commerce Act or the Resource Management Act, any fines, damages and legal fees charged to your business will be covered. Give yourself the peace of mind that comes with knowing your business is prepared.
Employer’s liability policies provide financial compensation to help employers pay for compensation or fees associated with common law claims. Employers may be liable to pay for any costs caused by personal injury sustained by an employee, when not covered by ACC legislation. Employers liability insurance can prevent this from being an issue.
Professional indemnity insurance protects those who provide advice or a service to their clients. It provides you and your business with protection against any allegations that you have breached your professional duties. Regardless of whether the allegations are well founded or not, dealing with time-consuming, expensive lawsuits that damage your reputation can cause immeasurable harm to your business.

If any damages occur because of an act, omission or breach of professional duty or if you are accused of this, professional indemnity (negligence) insurance can protect you against legal costs and claims for damages. Contact Northcrest today to ensure that you are protected in the case of something going wrong.
