What is General Liability Insurance?
General Liability (GL) Insurance is an insurance policy that provides protection in the event of a bodily injury, property damage, or a lawsuit in which your business or company is being held responsible financially. General Liability Insurance can prevent a legal suit from being a disaster for your company by providing financial assistance in the event that your business is being held legally responsible. If your business is responsible for an accident, it can be expensive, so having general liability insurance for your company is extremely important.

Things to Consider about General Liability Insurance:
More often than not, General Liability will be included with your Business Owners Insurance Policy and will not need to be purchased as its own policy. There are some instances that require just a GL policy though, so be sure to ask us what coverages we recommend for your business!
