What is General Liability Insurance?

general liability insurance

General Liability protects you against financial loss due to accidents that arise from slip-and-falls, damage to other people's property, injuries from products you sell and other non-automobile related accidents.

It is a contract between your business and the insurance company. You agree to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as defined in your policy.

General Liability Limits

  • EACH OCCURRENCE - The maximum amount payable for bodily injury and property damage combined arising out of any one loss from Premises-Operations, Fire Damage Liability and Medical Payments or any one loss from Products-Completed Operations.
  • GENERAL AGGREGATE - The maximum amount payable in the policy period for bodily injury and property damage combined arising out of all losses from Premises-Operations, Fire Damage Liability, Medical Payments and Personal & Advertising Injury.
