What is General Liability Insurance?
General Liability Insurance helps protect your business from property damage claims, bodily injury claims, and/or personal and advertising injury claims that could put your business’s assets at risk. For example, General liability insurance helps protect you and your business in the event of the following:
- A customer slips and injures himself in your store. The injuries result in costly medical bills and maybe even a lawsuit.
- While on the job, you accidentally damage a customer’s property and the repairs are costly .Should a claim like one of these be made against your business, then your commercial general liability insurance policy may help pay for the damages.
It might be the only coverage you need. However, as good as it is, it will not prevent claims alleging professional errors, inconsistent employment practices or alcohol related injuries if you sell or serve liquor—Respectively you’ll need professional liability, employment practices and liquor liability insurance to solve that.
What does Commercial General Liability Insurance cover?
