Top claims for Tradies
(AAMI Business claims: Jan – Dec 2016)




Public and Products Liability
The most common claim for Tradies, it can cover the cost of damages if your business is found responsible for personal injury to a third party or damage to their property. For example, if you damage a client's home or belongings while working.




Portable & Valuable Items
Provides cover for equipment that you carry with you for work, including portable technology like mobile phones, as well as equipment like saws, drills and other tools. Items worth more than $2,500 must be specified to receive cover up to the replacement value of that item. Limits and excess apply.




Commercial Vehicle
Cover your ute, van or car, choosing from two different types of cover for each vehicle you insure:
- Comprehensive covers accidental damage to your vehicle and legal liability cover
- Legal Liability covers damage to third party property only

No. At least, not automatically. While cover for property damage is available, that doesn’t necessarily extend to damage caused by flood. We may be able to extend your policy to cover flood, but it’ll depend on our underwriting guidelines. If we do offer you flood cover, it’ll likely incur additional premiums. If you’d like to discuss whether flood coverage is available for your business, please contact us.
For policy purposes, “flood” is defined as the covering of a normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of any of the following:
- a lake (whether or not it has been altered or modified);
- a river (whether or not it has been altered or modified);
- a creek (whether or not it has been altered or modified);
- another natural watercourse (whether or not it has been altered or modified);
- a reservoir;
- a canal; or
- a dam.
AAMI Business Insurance can cover water damage caused by circumstances other than those outlined above; for example, from a damaged water pipe. For more information, please refer to the PDS.
