What General Liability Insurance Covers
Slip and Fall Incidents
If someone is injured at your business location or job site, coverage helps protect you from medical and legal costs.
Property Damage Liability
If your work causes damage to a client’s property, liability coverage helps cover repair or replacement costs.
Legal Defense and Lawsuits
Even if a claim isn’t valid, legal expenses can add up quickly. Coverage helps protect your business from those costs.
When You’ll Likely Need This Coverage
If you’re signing a lease
Landlords often require proof of liability insurance before you can occupy a space.
If you work with clients or vendors
Contracts frequently require coverage and proof before work begins.
If you want to protect against everyday risks
Even small incidents can turn into large claims without the right coverage in place.
Proof of Insurance—Handled the Right Way
Many business owners don’t just need coverage—they need proof of it quickly and correctly.
Certificates of Insurance (COIs)
Provide proof of coverage to landlords, clients, or vendors when required.

Add third parties to your policy to meet contract requirements and protect all involved.
Contract-Specific Language
