Understanding General Liability Insurance
General liability insurance is considered foundational coverage for most businesses because it addresses common physical risks that can occur during normal operations.
What it covers:
Third-Party Bodily Injury: If a client, vendor, or delivery person is injured on your business premises (e.g., slips on a wet floor), this policy can cover their medical expenses and related legal costs.
Third-Party Property Damage: If your business activities accidentally damage someone else’s property (e.g., an employee breaks a client’s window while working), it can cover repair or replacement costs.
Reputational Harm: It can provide a legal defense if you’re sued for libel, slander, or copyright infringement in your advertising.
Understanding Professional Liability Insurance
Professional Liability Insurance is crucial for businesses that provide services, expertise, or advice. It protects against the cost of client lawsuits alleging that your work caused them a financial loss.
What it covers:
Errors, Omissions, and Negligence: Covers legal defense costs, settlements, or judgments if a client sues you for a professional mistake, missed deadline, or oversight that cost them money.
Example: An accountant makes an error on a tax return, resulting in client penalties. A web developer’s bug causes a client’s e-commerce site to crash during a major sale.
