What Is It?
Understanding General Liability Insurance
General Liability insurance protects your business from claims that your operations, products, or services caused bodily injury or property damage to a third party. It’s the foundation of any solid business insurance program and is often required by landlords, clients, and contracts.
Who Needs It?
Is This Right for My Business?
Any business that interacts with clients, customers, or the public needs General Liability. This includes contractors, retailers, restaurants, consultants, landscapers, salons, and virtually every type of small business. Many commercial leases and client contracts require proof of GL coverage before you can work.

Common Questions
General Liability Insurance FAQs
How much General Liability coverage do I need?
Most small businesses start with a $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate policy. Some contracts and leases require higher limits. We’ll help you determine the right amount based on your industry and exposure.
Does GL cover my employees?
No — General Liability covers third-party claims (customers, vendors, public). Employee injuries are covered under Workers’ Compensation insurance, which is a separate policy.
What does GL NOT cover?
General Liability does not cover professional errors (that’s E&O), employee injuries (Workers’ Comp), your own property damage (Commercial Property), or auto accidents (Commercial Auto). You likely need multiple policies for complete protection.
