What we cover - your $10 million legal liability cover

What we cover - your $10 million legal liability cover

When we will pay

We will cover your legal liability arising from accidents that happen within the site.

We will cover you against your legal liability for all claims arising from an accident or a series of accidents arising from any one occurrence occurring during the period of cover, causing:

bodily injury or death to any person other than you or your family,

damage to or loss of property, other than property which you or your family own or for which you or they are legally liable.

Where your landlord building is a lot or unit which is part of a strata-titled development, and:

there is no other lot or unit above or below your lot or unit,

you do not have any other liability insurance for your lot or unit, and

we have agreed to provide landlord building insurance for your lot or unit,

we will also cover your legal liability arising from accidents that happen on the common property that is shown on the plan and is used for domestic or residential purposes.

Our payment will not exceed $10 million in total (including all legal and defence costs and GST).
