Key Types of Commercial Liability Insurance:
General Liability Insurance (GL) General Liability Insurance provides broad protection for your business against third-party claims related to property damage, bodily injury, and personal injury. It covers:
Bodily Injury: If a customer or visitor is injured on your business premises or due to your business operations.
Property Damage: If your business causes damage to someone else’s property, such as equipment, buildings, or vehicles.
Personal Injury: Includes cases of libel, slander, or false advertising that can damage a person's reputation or cause financial harm.
Product Liability Insurance If your business manufactures, distributes, or sells products, Product Liability Insurance protects you from claims related to injuries or damage caused by defective or unsafe products. Whether the issue arises from a manufacturing defect or inadequate labeling, this coverage ensures that you are protected from legal costs and damages.
Professional Liability Insurance (Errors and Omissions) This coverage, also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance, is vital for businesses that provide professional services or advice. It covers claims arising from negligence, errors, omissions, or failure to perform services to the satisfaction of your clients. It’s particularly important for consultants, lawyers, accountants, healthcare professionals, and other service-based businesses.
Liquor Liability Insurance (if applicable) For businesses that sell or serve alcohol, Liquor Liability Insurance protects against claims of property damage or injury resulting from alcohol consumption on your premises. This insurance can help cover legal fees, medical expenses, and settlements in the event of an alcohol-related accident involving your customers.
Commercial Auto Liability Insurance If your business uses vehicles for transportation or delivery, Commercial Auto Liability Insurance is crucial. It provides coverage for damages or injuries resulting from accidents involving your company’s vehicles. This coverage is important whether you own a fleet of delivery vans or have employees using personal vehicles for business purposes.
Cyber Liability Insurance (optional) As more businesses rely on digital platforms and store sensitive data, Cyber Liability Insurance protects against financial losses related to data breaches, hacking, and other cyber incidents. This includes the cost of notifying affected individuals, recovering stolen data, and covering legal fees.
