Events covered under Market Stall Insurance

Physical Injury

You're at a fair on a open space selling your products. Suddenly, a gust of wind comes through. The metal poles holding your stall come out, one flies over and hits a customer on the head, fracturing their skull. With market stall public liability insurance, you can have peace of mind knowing you are covered.

Trips, Slips and Falls

It is dark and your stall is lighted by a series of light bulbs, powered by a portable generator. This is a few meters away, because it is too noisy, so the cable lays right on the ground. A customer does not notice it in the dark, trips on and breaks their ankle. Having insurance for market stalls in Australia can ensure protection against such incidents.

Third Party Damage

You are at a construction fair. You sell fresh paints in cans. Your neighbour sells white cloth curtains for gazebos. A customer opens a can of paint, without you noticing it, and they close it unproperly. A few hours later you get the can at the bottom for another customer: when you move these, the open can drops all paint on the curtains, damaging at least half of the stock. Market stall holder insurance can ensure you are financially protected in such cases.

exclusions

What is not covered (exclusions) under the market stall insurance policy?
