Workers Compensation Insurance

Damage to your own property

With the ‘Portable & Valuable Items’ cover option (available under an AAMI Business Insurance policy), we can help cover loss or damage to portable and valuable items you usually carry around with you in the course of your business. See PDS and Policy Wording for details.

Public Liability & Products Liability Insurance

Both Public and Products Liability provide coverage for third party injury or property damage that your business might cause. The difference is that Public Liability relates to injury to a person or damage to a person’s property that you or your employee may cause while on the job, and Products Liability relates to injury to a person or damage to their property caused by any products you distribute, supply or manufacture.

AAMI Business Insurance policies include a combined Public & Products Liability cover, giving your business extra coverage for liability claims due to its activities or products you sell.
