General Liability Insurance Overview
Comprehensive general liability coverage insures a business against
accidents and injury that might happen on its premises, as well as
exposures related to its products. It will protect you from payments for
bodily injury or property damage to a third party, for medical expenses
accruing to the underlying incident, for the cost of defending lawsuits
including investigations and settlements, and for any bonds or judgments
required during an appeal procedure.
No matter how diligently you remove all possible hazards from your
business, you could be sued successfully for accidents resulting from
simply the carelessness of a customer. General liability insurance is
your last line of defense against devastating claims for things over
which you may have little or no control.
How much liability coverage do you need? Generally, experts say, $2
million to $3 million of liability insurance should be plenty. The good
news is that liability insurance isn't priced on a dollar-for-dollar
basis, so twice the coverage shouldn't be twice the price.
The price you pay for coverage depends on the size of your business
(measured either by square footage or by payroll) and the specific risks
involved etc.
