LIABILITY INSURANCE – A
BUSINESS ESSENTIAL
Business Insurance

Accidents cannot be anticipated. Every company, big or small, has its private funds at stake in the event of a business relevant
lawsuit. While accidents cannot be averted, their damage can be avoided.
Consequently, companies need business liability insurance in NZ to safeguard their
financial assets from any formal lawsuit. And even though it’s lawfully necessary for
New Zealand, some companies still try to escape it, in the hopes of not paying a
premium amount every month.
Even if it’s a small business running low on revenue, it should never overlook its
insurance requirements. Companies that are not insured against business liability
are at a greater risk of going through some severe financial loss; or even bankruptcy. Any unjust claim for compensation from
the employees can run a company into the ground if it’s not covered against the
damages.
A company facing claims or lawsuits can be in a much worse situation because the
costs involved are not only limited to the claimed amount; there are other expenses that need to be factored into consideration.
Expenses such as court costs including attorneys' fees, police report costs and
witness fees, any judgment or settlement resulting from the lawsuit, medical expenses for the injured people, etc.
There are various types of business liability insurances, subject to the nature of the
business. A company can get quotes from brokers who provide the services of
business insurance in Auckland. The most prevalent types of business liability
insurance might include:
BUSINESS INSURANCE IN AUCKLAND
This is the most common type of liability insurance. It defends the business against
any foul charges and covers the expenses of business-related injuries caused to the
employee.
GENERAL LIABILITY
This type of insurance protects professionals such as accountants, lawyers,
physicians against dishonest indictments made by their clients. Professional liability
insurance is important because general liability insurance doesn’t cover the
expenses of lawsuits made against the services of the professionals.
PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY
If a business offers products and services, product liability insurance covers the costs
of damage to the consumer caused resulting from the business operations.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
This type of insurance defends the company against allegations made by their
current or former employees. The allegations are largely based on the
conducts and actions of the administration towards the employees.
EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE LIABILITY
A thriving business is built upon a lot of hard work and struggles. Protecting a
business they have worked so hard to build shouldn’t be a challenge for the owners.
Companies need business liability insurance in NZ to focus all of their attention towards the growth of the
business.
