General Liabilities Insurance is a type of insurance that covers the liability your business may have to others. It helps provide protection against lawsuits and protects your business from financial damages caused by accidents or injuries on property owned by the insured.
What is General Liabilities Insurance?
General Liabilities Insurance is a type of policy that protects you from the risks associated with your business, including claims arising from bodily injury or property damage to your customers, their employees and others. It also covers any claims resulting from lawsuits filed by customers or vendors who are injured on your property and/or believe they have been treated unjustly by you or your employees.
To put it simply: if someone gets hurt in one of your stores, Public Liability Insurance will cover medical bills and legal fees related to that incident if they sue you, but not if they sue someone else in the chain of command (like an employee).
The common misconception is that this type of insurance covers all accidents at work; however, unless specified otherwise in the policy wording itself, only those accidents occur while people are actually working—not just entering into businesses.
Who needs General Liabilities Insurance?
General Liabilities Insurance protects you from many types of lawsuits. If you’re a business owner, or run your own company, this type of insurance is vital for protecting your personal assets from legal action. This includes:
- Businesses of all sizes (large and small)
- Individuals
- Non-profit organisations
- Government agencies (including local government offices)
- Religious organisations (including churches and religious schools)
- Clubs and associations (including civic groups, like the Kiwanis Club or Rotary International)
Enterprises owned by an individual person or group of people may have general liability insurance to protect them in case someone gets hurt on their property or if a guest is injured while visiting one’s home. Some businesses may also purchase workers’ comp coverage for employees who get hurt on the job.”

Types of General Liabilities Insurance
When it comes to business insurance, there are many different types of coverage. Each type has its own set of terms and conditions, so be sure you know what your policy covers before purchasing it.
This is a commercial insurance package that bundles together several types of policies: property, liability, marine and inland waterway transportation (also known as inland waterway transportation policy), workers’ compensation coverage, vehicle coverage and other optional coverages such as fidelity bonds or umbrella policies.
It provides protection against losses in addition to those already covered by owners’ personal umbrella policies when they’re conducting business related activities outside the domain where they live or work on behalf of their company’s interests. This means that all your general liabilities are covered under this one policy – which means less paperwork for you!
This covers loss resulting from property damage or bodily injury caused by an accident happening at home while conducting daily business affairs such as hiring employees or accepting deliveries; contracting new clients; traveling throughout Texas doing sales calls; etcetera. It also includes added protection against loss due to theft while transporting merchandise between locations (i.e., going from one client’s office building back home).
