General Liability Insurance
What's Covered? (Varies by carrier!)
-
Property: Ranging from people getting hurt on your property, to protection from lawsuits due to accidents in your office.
-
Defense Costs: From small tech problems that cause clients to open a case to advertising and copyright suits.
-
Medical Expenses: Can help mitigate small claim costs due to personal injuries.
-
Data Breaches: Basic coverages that can be expanded to limit any loss of valuable electronic data.
General liability is usually the catch-all policy that can help you mitigate small risks that don't need expanded coverages such as professional liability, cyber insurance, or workers compensation.
What's NOT Covered?
-
Vehicles: Any claims resulting from owning cars or trucks. (Ask us about commercial auto.)
-
Professional Services: Professional mistakes due to services provided is under a separate professional liability policy. (However, general mistakes made by employees and temporary staff is usually covered.)
-
Employee Injuries: Any employee injury will be covered under workers compensation.
-
Hackers and Cyber: Anything bigger than small time data loss will usually require some sort of cyber insurance. (Good news is it's a very good "bang-for-buck" add on.)
All commercial policies are different and require an experienced approach to make sure you aren't leaving yourself open to any unintended risks. Having a local broker who can sift through the marketplace effectively is a necessity for today's shifting environments.
