Who needs general liability insurance?
General liability insurance protects your business from claims from a third party (meaning not an employee or officer) for accidental bodily injury and property damage. In most cases, your employees, officers, and partners are covered under a policy. A classic example is a “slip and fall” type of claim, where a visitor may sue you for medical bills and time off work. Whether you have a home-based, office, or retail business, you should strongly consider buying general liability. If you perform a trade, you need insurance.
COVERAGE CAN INCLUDE SUITS ARISING OUT OF:
- Injury or death of clients and guests
- Property damage liability
- Ownership use or maintenance of employment area
- General negligence claims
- Cost of investigation and defense of claims, even if groundless
