What Does General Liability Insurance Cover?
General liability insurance is designed to cover a range of claims against your business. It covers non-professional negligence incidents. In other words, it covers accidents not directly related to a specialized service or profession. The three main areas of coverage available under general liability insurance are bodily injury, property damage and personal and advertising injury.
Medical Payments
Medical payment compensation is provided to those who are injured on your business’ property. For example, if someone slips and falls in your hardware store, general liability insurance can help pay for the victim’s medical bills or emergency service expenses.
Damage Compensation
General liability insurance can also pay compensation for damages, both physical and nonphysical. If someone’s expensive watch is destroyed on your business’ property, for example, general liability insurance can help pay for a replacement. This may also apply to damages you may cause someone else’s business related to libel and slander claims.
Legal Expenses
While the previous two areas of coverage are paid to the victim, legal expense coverage is specifically for your business. This side of general liability insurance helps protect your business in the event of a lawsuit. It can compensate you for general legal expenses such as court fees, defense costs or settlements.
Additional Liability Insurance
Keep in mind that general liability insurance doesn’t cover everything, especially on its own. You may want to bundle your general liability insurance into a business owners policy (BOP), which combines important coverages for small businesses.
Other liability insurance policies to consider include:
- Umbrella Liability
- Professional Liability
- Cyber Liability
- Products Liability
