Benefits
Moral obligation
Cover for where you are not legally liable, but damage has been caused by your farming operations and/or animals.
Property in your care
Cover of up to $250,000 for your liability for loss of other people’s property while it’s in your care.
Landlord's liability
Covers your liability for loss or injury caused by your negligence as a landlord, or due to a defect at the tenanted premises.
People touring your premises
We cover any loss or damage to customers or visitors while they are touring your premises in New Zealand.
Instead of protecting your physical property, FMG’s Liability cover insures you in the event you accidentally cause damage to others’ property or personal injury to someone that is not covered by ACC, in connection with your business operations.
FMG’s Liability cover is available to our clients who own and operate businesses, as well as non-commercial clients, like lifestyle block owners.
For non-commercial clients, this policy includes moral obligation cover, in the event your animals hop the fence or cause damage while being driven, if your dogs have caused injury or damage, or trees on your property have fallen in a storm and caused damage to others’ property.
We also cover your legal liability due to accidental loss or damage to underground services like water and wastewater pipes, provided that you had looked into the location of the underground services before starting the work and had taken reasonable precautions to prevent personal injury or loss to others’ property.
