Why Graphic Designers Need Public and Product Liability Insurance

While much of your work happens behind a screen, you may meet clients or visit client workspaces to pitch, conduct meetings, present design concepts or finalise project outcomes. These activities can expose your business to real-world risks involving clients, their equipment and property.

Accidents can happen during everyday interactions. A client may trip over power cables in your workspace, showroom or trade show booth. Or you could accidentally damage equipment while working at a client’s premises. Even minor incidents can result in claims, legal costs and compensation demands.

Public and Product Liability (PL) Insurance helps protect you in these situations. It can cover legal defence costs and compensation payable if your business activities cause third-party injury or third party property damage, subject to policy terms and limits.

“At Sami Insurance, we make PL Insurance simple for graphic designers. Clear cover, fast quotes and support, so you can focus on your creative work.”

What Public and Product Liability Insurance Covers for Graphic Designers

Third-Party Injury

Injury to a client, visitor or member of the public caused by your business activities.

Accidental damage to client or third-party property during meetings, site visits or work.

Incidents not related to your business activities
Damage to your own property or equipment
Faulty workmanship or costs to rectify your own work
Financial loss arising from your design work or services
