GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
General Liability Insurance is a type of insurance coverage designed to protect businesses and individuals from financial losses resulting from bodily injury, property damage, and other liabilities.
It provides coverage for legal costs and damages that may arise if a person or their property is injured or damaged due to the business operations or products.

Policies often have coverage limits, which represent the maximum amount the
insurance company will pay for a covered claim. Deductibles are the out-of-pocket amount the insured must pay before the insurance coverage kicks in.
Exclusions
Certain events or situations may be excluded from coverage. It's essential for policyholders to understand these exclusions to know the extent of their coverage.
Business Size and Risk Assessment
​General Liability Insurance aims to indemnify the insured, meaning it compensates the insured party for covered losses, up to the policy limits.
Customization
The cost of General Liability Insurance can vary based on the type of business, its size, the industry it operates in, and the perceived risk associated with its operations.
Having General Liability Insurance is crucial for businesses, as it helps protect against unforeseen events and liabilities that could result in significant financial losses. It provides a safety net for businesses to continue operations without facing severe financial consequences due to legal claims or damages. Businesses should carefully review policy terms, conditions, and exclusions to ensure they have the appropriate coverage for their specific needs.
