Running a small business comes with numerous challenges and risks. While you focus on growth and customer satisfaction, unexpected legal claims can threaten everything you've built. This is where liability insurance becomes essential.
What is Business Liability Insurance?
Business liability insurance protects your company from financial losses resulting from lawsuits, property damage, bodily injuries, and other claims. It covers legal fees, settlements, and judgments that could otherwise bankrupt a small business.
Types of Liability Coverage
- General Liability: Covers bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury claims.
- Professional Liability: Protects against claims of negligence, errors, or omissions in professional services.
- Product Liability: Covers claims related to defective products that cause harm.
- Employer's Liability: Protects against employee injury claims not covered by workers' compensation.
Real-World Scenarios
Consider these common situations where liability insurance proves invaluable:
- A customer slips and falls in your store, resulting in medical expenses and lost wages.
- Your product malfunctions and causes property damage to a client.
- A competitor claims your advertising infringes on their trademark.
- An employee alleges wrongful termination or discrimination.
The Cost of Going Uninsured
Without liability insurance, a single lawsuit could drain your business savings, force you to sell assets, or even lead to bankruptcy. Legal defense costs alone can run into thousands of dollars, even if you win the case.
