What’s commercial general liability insurance?
Also known as business liability insurance, it helps protect you if someone files a claim or lawsuit against you as a result of a common mishap during your day-to-day operations. This could include something like a customer getting hurt in your store or one of your employees damaging a client’s property. Without coverage, you may have to pay claims and legal costs out of pocket. See note 1
Does your business need general liability insurance?
Every business can be exposed to a broad range of liability risks. So, whether you have a brick-and-mortar or online company, this policy helps you continue to do business as usual if you face claims or lawsuits. You may also be required to have a policy if you have a commercial lease or contract.

What’s the difference between general and professional liability?
It depends on the risks your business may face. General liability insurance provides protection from common mishaps that can happen during normal business operations.
Professional liability insurance covers negligence or errors that may cause physical or financial harm to your clients.
In some cases, it may be a good idea to have both types of coverage.
