Coverage that can protect you from a variety of claims including bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and others that can arise from your business operations.
General Liability insurance (GL) is coverage that can protect you from a variety of claims including bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and others that can arise from your business operations.General Liability insurance is often combined with property insurance in a Business Owners Policy (BOP), but General Liability insurance also is available to many contractors as standalone coverage.
As a contractor or small business owner, you need some form of General Liability insurance to safeguard your livelihood. A single accident could result in a lawsuit that you might not be able to handle. A great way to protect against this type of situation is to make sure you carry enough General Liability insurance. Some employers might also require you to carry a certain amount of General Liability insurance before you can work for them.
