The Basics
What is General Liability Insurance?
General Liability Insurance helps protect businesses against certain third-party claims involving bodily injury, property damage, and personal or advertising injury.
If a covered claim is brought against your business, General Liability Insurance may help pay for legal defense costs, settlements, judgments, and other covered expenses up to policy limits.
Because lawsuits and liability claims can be costly, many businesses view General Liability Insurance as a foundational component of their overall risk management strategy.

Is It Right for You?
Does your business need General Liability Insurance?
General Liability Insurance is one of the most important coverages for small businesses. It is often required if you lease or own commercial space, and many client contracts may also require proof of coverage.
Even if it's not mandatory, businesses that interact with customers, clients, or the public can benefit from this protection. A Commercial General Liability (CGL) policy helps protect your business from the financial impact of claims involving bodily injury, property damage, or other covered liabilities.
Because it provides a strong foundation of protection, General Liability Insurance is often one of the first policies business owners purchase when launching a new venture.
Why It Matters
Why General Liability Insurance matters

General Liability Insurance helps provide financial protection against many of the everyday risks businesses face. Having appropriate coverage in place can help business owners focus on serving customers and growing their operations with greater confidence.
