Farm & Livestock Liability
Protection if your livestock injure people, damage property, or escape onto roads causing accidents.
What Does Farm & Livestock Liability Cover?
Farm and livestock liability insurance protects you when your animals cause harm to third parties. Livestock on roads are a leading cause of serious accidents in rural New Zealand — if your animals escape and cause a vehicle crash, you could face significant legal liability. This cover also protects against injuries to visitors, contractors, and neighbours caused by your animals.
