General liability insurance for everyday business risks

One slip-and-fall or damaged client property can cost more than a year's profit. General liability protects your business from claims like these.

What a general liability policy can include

  • Bodily injury

    Covers injuries to customers, vendors, and visitors at your business or caused by your work.

  • Property damage

    Pays for damage you cause to someone else's property while working.

  • Personal & advertising injury

    Protects against claims like libel, slander, and copyright issues in your advertising.

  • Products & completed operations

    Covers claims that arise from products you sell or work you finished.

Coverage varies by carrier and policy. We'll walk you through exactly what yours includes.

Who needs it

Nearly every business that meets customers, works on someone else’s property, or sells products. Contractors, retailers, consultants, and service businesses all face these risks.

General Liability insurance questions

Do my clients require general liability?

Many landlords, general contractors, and commercial clients do. We issue certificates of insurance naming them as additional insureds when needed.

Is general liability the same as professional liability?

No. General liability covers bodily injury and property damage. Professional liability (errors and omissions) covers mistakes in professional advice or services.

Should I get a BOP instead?

If you also need property coverage, a BOP that includes general liability is often the better value. We'll compare both.
