Understanding General Liability Coverage

General Liability, also referred to as commercial general liability or business liability insurance, is a foundational coverage essential for any business. It provides protection against financial losses resulting from claims made by third parties alleging bodily injury, property damage, or personal and advertising injury.

General Liability coverage shields your business from potential legal and financial consequences arising from accidents or incidents involving third parties. Whether it’s a customer slipping and falling on your premises, damage caused to someone else’s property during your business operations, or claims of defamation in your advertising, General Liability insurance steps in to cover the costs of legal defense, settlements, or judgments.

Additional Insured Requirement

Frequently, businesses or venues may require you to list them as an “Additional Insured” on your General Liability policy. This is a common practice to ensure they are protected under your insurance coverage for any liabilities associated with your business activities.
