General Liability Insurance for Businesses
One lawsuit can threaten everything you have built. General liability insurance protects your business from third-party bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury claims — and meets the requirements of most commercial leases and client contracts.

What Does General Liability Insurance Cover?
A complete auto policy combines several coverage types. Mix and match based on your state requirements, budget, and how you use your vehicle.
Bodily Injury
Pays medical expenses, lost wages, and legal defense costs if a customer, vendor, or visitor is injured on your business premises or as a result of your operations.
Property Damage
Covers damage your business or employees cause to a third party's property — including while performing work at a client's location.
Advertising Injury
Protects against claims of copyright infringement, libel, slander, and misleading advertising that cause financial harm to another party.
Personal Injury
Covers claims of false arrest, malicious prosecution, wrongful eviction, and invasion of privacy — situations distinct from physical bodily injury.
Legal Defense Costs
Pays attorney fees, court costs, and legal defense expenses for covered claims — even if the lawsuit is ultimately unfounded.
