A Fundamental Shield for Your Business

General Liability insurance provides essential protection from lawsuits, on-site accidents, and other common risks.

What is General Liability Insurance

As a core safeguard for any business, general liability insurance is essential. It covers expenses when your business is found liable for physical injuries, damage to property, or advertising-related claims (such as slander or copyright infringement).

It acts like a safety net: should a client get hurt at your location, your services cause damage to a customer’s property, or your marketing leads to a lawsuit, this insurance is designed to cover the associated legal and medical costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

GL helps cover third-party claims for bodily injury (e.g., a customer slip-and-fall), property damage you cause to others, and personal/advertising injury (like libel/slander). It pays for legal defense and settlements up to your policy limits.

Your own property, your employees’ injuries (that’s Workers’ Comp), professional errors/advice (that’s E&O/Professional Liability), auto accidents (Commercial Auto), and intentional misconduct. Read your exclusions—fine print isn’t fun, but it matters.

Usually not by statute, but landlords, vendors, and clients often require it in contracts. If you sign agreements, odds are you’ll be asked for GL with specific limits and endorsements.

Common limits are $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. Choose based on your foot traffic, project size, contractual requirements, and risk tolerance. For bigger contracts or venues, consider a $3–$5M umbrella.

GL covers physical-world accidents and certain personal/advertising injuries. E&O covers financial loss from your professional advice or services. Many businesses need both. Different risks, different safety nets.
