What does business liability insurance cover?

  • Bodily Injury

    Slip and fall accidents at your place of business are covered, as well as other types of injuries. This can keep you out of court and help your business avoid expensive lawsuits. Bodily injury coverage is important for any type of business, as accidents can happen to anyone and any time!

  • Product Liability

    If you sell a product or provide a service that unknowingly causes damage to a person or their property, business liability insurance covers you.

  • Property Damage Liability

    Especially important if you perform services at locations outside your business, property damage liability insurance covers you if you accidentally damage a customer’s property.

  • Medical Payments

    This coverage includes medical bills as well as funeral costs if a person is injured or killed while at your place of business.

  • Damages to Rented Property

    If you’ve rented a space in which you conduct business, such as a retail space in a commercial center or an office space at a complex, you are liable if something gets damaged, such as a grease fire at your restaurant causing damage to the building itself.

What does commercial property insurance NOT cover?

Commercial property insurance covers a lot, but it doesn’t cover everything. Some situations that are not covered by commercial property insurance include:

  • Properties other than yours

    If your employee damages a client’s home or property, that would need to be covered by business liability insurance.

  • Flooding

    Flood insurance is the only type of insurance that covers flooding. Learn more about flood insurance here.

  • Accidents in company vehicles

    For any company vehicles, you’ll need to purchase commercial auto insurance for your company cars or fleet.

  • Lost income if your business needs to close for repairs

    You can protect your business from lost revenue with a business owners policy. Learn more about a business owners policy here.
