Liability Insurance, Business Insurance

Your basic General Liability insurance covers financial losses and the costs and damages resulting from claims up to the limit of your policy for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury (slander and libel) and advertising injury suffered by a customer that is caused by you, an employee or a subcontractor. General Liability insurance also covers the cost to defend or settle claims, even when they are fraudulent, although it typically does not compensate for punitive damages that are assessed for negligence or willful misconduct. It is possible to purchase a Commercial Umbrella Liability policy to guard against claims of that nature.
