Why do Kiwi Tradies need Liability Insurance?
For years Kiwi Tradies have had the attitude that if someone get injured ACC will pay and if we break something, we’ll fix it. But as health and safety has become a more prominent risk to the larger companies, it’s filtering down to tradies in a van.
Safer Workplaces
To avoid injuries or some could cynically say reduce their Insurance premiums, larger organsation will spend a lot of time on risk reduction, safety and procedures. Then to reduce their exposure to being sued by visitors to their site or fined by the regulatory authorities they will ask for those visitors or the visiting companies to share the risk. This may involve carrying a minimum amount of some form of income protection and is also require a minimum amount of General Liability cover.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Get Quotes” color=”orange” size=”lg” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Finsuretradies.co.nz%2Finsurance-quotes%2Fbusiness-cover%2Fliability-cover-for-tradies%2F|title:Kiwi%20Tradies%20Liability%20Quotes||”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Income Cover
The income cover will reduce the loss to a worker or contractor therefore reducing the amount of compensation the worker or contractor’s solicitors could claim in a law suit.
Now sure in the event of an accident, ACC is likely to cover some of the cost, but they or the injured party may seek to recover their costs.
General Liability
Liability insurance protects the policy holder’s business against financial loss or property damage to a third party as a result of the policy holder’s negligence.
Tradies tend to think of property damage as a foot through a ceiling, a broken window or small damage that’s easily fixed. But liability claims can cover small losses through to complete losses and consequential loss running into the millions.
Multimillion Dollar Claims
A broken pipe in a highrise, a spark causing a fire in a commercial building or cutting telecommunication wires are a real Tradies claims that resulted in multimillion dollar losses.
The tradies never set out wet, burn, or break anything, but the cost of those claims to the tradie? They simply had to pay the policy excess, in most cases $500-$1000 per claim.
