Whom does it protect?
General Liability Insurance protects your brand and employees from incidents where a customer or group of customers sues you.
When do I need General Liability for my business?
Day one of preparing and selling products to customers. Many brands will even purchase general liability when they form the business before distributing products. A lease agreement for new office/plant space will also require in-force general liability.
What are the risks if I don’t have appropriate General Liability Coverage?
You, your employees, and your business are at risk of lawsuits related to customer injury.
How often should I review my General Liability?
