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.
