Understanding General Liability Insurance<\/div>\n

General liability insurance is the foundation of most business insurance programs. It protects your company against claims that it caused bodily injury or property damage to someone else, along with certain personal and advertising injury claims.<\/p>\n

Bodily Injury and Property Damage<\/h3>\n

Pays for third-party injuries and damage to others’ property that your business is found responsible for, including related legal defense costs.<\/p>\n

Personal and Advertising Injury<\/h3>\n

Covers claims such as libel, slander, and copyright infringement in your advertising.<\/p>\n

Products and Completed Operations<\/h3>\n

Protects against claims arising from your products or finished work after a job is complete.<\/p>\n
