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.
