General Liability Insurance

Insurance that protects businesses from financial losses if they are held liable for property damage, bodily injuries, or advertising injuries to third parties

Detailed Explanation

This fundamental business coverage helps pay for medical costs, legal defense, settlements, and judgments resulting from covered claims against your business.

Practical Example

A customer visiting a retail store trips on a loose floor tile and breaks their arm. General liability insurance covers their medical expenses, the store's legal defense costs, and any settlement or judgment if the customer sues.
