Commercial General Liability Insurance Can Help Protect Your Business

Operating your business without general liability insurance can expose you to financial risk

 

Businesses that should have commercial general liability insurance include those that:

  • Interact with customers face-to-face
  • Directly handle customers’ property
  • Perform work on job sites or other premises
  • Sell products
  • Advertise or market products or services
  • Subcontract work done on their customers’ behalf
  • Enter into contracts, lease, or service agreements that require them to have general liability coverage

Commercial general liability can help address:

  • Litigation and settlement expenses – for the investigation, litigation and settlement for bodily injury or property damage claims, if your business is sued
  • Medical payment – for injuries to non-employees, whether your business is at fault or not
  • Personal and advertising injury – for your organization’s actions that may be deemed offenses of libel, slander, invasion of privacy or copyright infringement
  • Products and completed operations – for costs associated with injury or damage due to your businesses’ products or completed operations
  • Supplementary payments - including bail bonds, prejudgment interest and reasonable expenses
