What is General Liability Insurance?
General Liability Insurance is designed to protect your business from a variety of potential lawsuits or claims. These could be due to accidents, injuries, or property damage that might occur on your premises or as a result of your business operations. Imagine a customer slipping in your store or a contractor damaging a client’s property—these are scenarios where General Liability Insurance becomes invaluable.
Why Do You Need It?
As a business owner, you’ve worked hard to build something special. But accidents happen, and without proper coverage, you could be facing significant financial loss. General Liability Insurance provides a safety net, allowing you to focus on what you do best—running your business. It’s not just about protecting your assets; it’s about peace of mind knowing that TWFG ~ Burridge Family Insurance has got your back.
What Does It Cover?
General Liability Insurance typically covers:
- Property Damage – If your business operations cause damage to someone else's property, this coverage helps pay for repairs or replacements.
- Bodily Injury – If someone is injured on your business premises, this coverage can help with medical expenses and legal costs.
- Personal and Advertising Injury – This includes claims of defamation, copyright infringement, or other similar issues.
- Legal Defense – If your business is sued, this coverage helps pay for legal expenses, even if the lawsuit is groundless.
Real-World Example: The Cost of a Claim
To give you a clearer picture, here's a breakdown of a typical General Liability Insurance claim:
Claim Type
Slip and Fall Accident
Medical Costs
