Liability insurance is designed to protect the business against losses in the event that they are found to be negligent or liable for property damage or bodily injury to third parties. Typically, damages, legal defense fees, and settlement charges are paid by the insuring company when a claim is filed against the business.

This type of coverage can provide liability protection for your company’s completed products or services. If an injury occurs due to the use of your products or services provided, the policy would pay for the resulting damages and any legal expenses up to the policy limits.
Medical Payments
If someone is injured by you or at your business site, the policy may pay for medical and funeral expenses incurred, up to policy limits, within one year of the accident.
