What is General Liability?
Commercial general liability insurance, commonly referred to as general liability insurance, is designed to protect businesses from financial losses resulting from lawsuits alleging personal injury, property damage, or physical harm. This type of insurance covers the costs of legal defense, medical care, and any settlements or court awards associated with these claims.
General liability insurance is an essential component of any business’s risk management strategy, providing crucial protection against the various liabilities that businesses encounter in their day-to-day operations. Whether you’re a small business or a larger enterprise, having this coverage is critical to safeguarding your company’s finances.
What Does General Liability Insurance Cover?
General liability insurance typically covers the following:
Bodily Injury: If someone is injured on your business property or due to your business operations, general liability insurance helps cover medical expenses and any associated legal costs.
Property Damage: If your business activities result in damage to a client’s property, this coverage helps pay for the repairs or replacement, along with any legal fees if the client pursues a lawsuit.
Personal Injury: This includes protection against claims of defamation, slander, or invasion of privacy that could arise during business operations.
Legal Defense Costs: Even if the lawsuit is groundless, general liability insurance helps cover legal fees for defending your business in court.
Medical Payments: This covers medical expenses for injuries that occur on your business premises, regardless of fault.
Why Do You Need General Liability Insurance?
General liability insurance provides peace of mind by covering the costs associated with lawsuits and claims. No matter how careful your business is, accidents can happen, and customers or clients may file claims that could result in substantial financial loss. Without general liability coverage, your business could be at risk of paying for costly settlements or legal expenses out-of-pocket.
