Understanding the coverage

Liability considerations for your business

General Liability Insurance is designed around third-party liability considerations rather than damage to the business’s own property. It may be relevant to sole proprietors, contractors, consultants, retailers, restaurants, service providers and other businesses that interact with customers, clients or third-party property. The appropriate policy depends on what the business does, where interactions occur and the specific terms offered.

Third-party bodily injury

General Liability Insurance is relevant when considering allegations that a customer, client or another third party was injured in connection with business activities or interactions.

Third-party property damage

It can also be relevant when business activities lead to allegations that property belonging to another person or organization was damaged.

Everyday business interactions

Businesses that meet customers, visit work locations, work around third-party property or otherwise interact with the public can consider how liability risks arise in their operations.

Proof-of-insurance requests

A client, property owner or other organization may ask a business for proof of insurance. Include any known documentation requirements when requesting a quote so they can be considered.

Accurate business details

Describe the work the business performs and its common interactions when requesting a quote. Coverage suitability depends on the business activities and the terms of the available policy.

Policy terms matter

Limits, conditions and exclusions are policy-specific. Review the policy wording and quote details rather than assuming that every incident, activity or request is covered.
