Smart Protection for Your Business: General Liability Insurance

Running a business comes with plenty of challenges, and the risk of facing a lawsuit is one that keeps many owners up at night. General Liability insurance helps protect your business from costly lawsuits and claims for injury or damage tied to your operations. This coverage steps in to handle losses from real or alleged bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury that happens on your business premises or as a result of what you do.

What Does Business General Liability Insurance Cover?

General Liability insurance offers broad protection, including:

  • Bodily Injury: Covers medical costs, lost wages, and even death benefits if someone outside your company, like a customer or visitor, is hurt on your property or because of your business.
  • Property Damage: Protects against damage to someone else’s property or their loss of use due to your business activities.
  • Products-Completed Operations: Guards you if a product you made or a service you provided causes injury or damage after it leaves your control.
  • Contractual Liability: Covers certain liabilities you take on through contracts.

Other protections you might find in a policy include:

  • Borrowed equipment coverage
  • Liquor liability for businesses that sell or serve alcohol
  • Non-owned vehicle liability for rented aircraft or watercraft since commercial auto insurance covers cars and trucks
  • Legal defense fees, even if the claim against you is not valid
  • Medical payments for minor injuries on your premises regardless of fault
  • Personal injury protection for claims like slander or false arrest
  • Advertising injury coverage for issues like copyright infringement in ads

Many policies can be tailored to fit specific industries or business needs.
