Whether you have a small home business or a huge enterprise, business insurance can protect you in case the worst happens to your investments.
As a business owner, you work hard to cultivate and maintain your business. But there are a number of risks that could threaten what you’ve built. However, purchasing this type of policy is not an easy task. There are a number of types of business insurance and it important that you understand what they generally cover.
Liability Insurance
This is a type of protection which covers the losses and damages your company causes to others. It protects you against being considered liable for bodily injury or error inherent in defective and/or wrongly installed products, failure in services provided, and losses as well as damage which occurs due to the negligence of employees.
General liability insurance (CGL) is protection for your business in the event that someone makes a claim against it. On a daily basis, your company touches the lives of many people; whether that’s your contractors, clients or customers. And, at any given point, one or several of these people could claim that your business has caused them harm, injury or loss and initiate legal recourse.
Commercial General Liability insurance covers a variety of claims for damages, ranging from:
- Injuries on your property, such as slips or falls
- Bodily injury or property damage to a third party caused by your work or your employee’s activities
- Liability of others, assumed under contracts
- Bodily injury or damage to another’s property arising from a defect in your product
- Libel, slander, or business disparagement
- Copyright infringement in your advertisement
Worker’s Compensation Insurance
Insuring your worker’s on-the-job injuries is a must. Employers are generally obliged to pay for all medical bills and damages which result from the bodily injury of employees.
Workers compensation insurance coverage can help to protect both you and your employees after a work-related injury or illness. For the employee, workers compensation provides medical care, lost wages and more. For the employer, workers compensation provides a sole remedy, avoiding expensive civil litigation. Plus, workers compensation insurance provides employers peace of mind, knowing your employees will get the help they need to recover and return to work.
We are committed to assisting companies with:
- reducing claim costs
- making their work environment safe for employees
- getting injured workers appropriate care
- improving claim outcomes
- helping employees return to work
Property Insurance
This is coverage for all the building and contents owned by your company. These structures can be owned, rented or leased. Often property and casualty are put together, but these terms mean different things: property refers to the location of your business, while casualty insures your business itself.
