What Does Business Insurance Cover?
General Liability
General liability insurance covers non-professional negligence and accidents that may occur through everyday activity in your business. This includes bodily injury, property damage and personal and advertising injury.
For example, if someone is injured on your business’ property, general liability insurance can cover the victim’s medical bills as well as protect your business from a possible lawsuit resulting from the accident.
Personal and advertising injury doesn’t cover physical damage. Instead, it covers incidents such as libel, slander, theft of advertising ideas, copyright infringement, wrongful conviction and more.
Additional liability coverages you may add to your policy includes:
-
Products Liability:Products liability covers bodily injury and property damage that may be caused by a product provided by the business.
-
Liquor Liability: Liquor liability insurance protects businesses who serve alcohol in case a patron causes bodily injury or property damage to someone else.
-
Professional Liability: Professional liability insurance covers professional negligence that may cause a client to lose money.
-
Umbrella Liability:Umbrella liability insurance fills in the gaps left by other liability insurance policies. If your general liability insurance policy reaches its limit for a single claim, for example, umbrella insurance can step in to cover the remaining costs.
Workers Compensation
Workers compensation covers injuries your employees may suffer on the job. This insurance can cover medical bills, wage replacement, disability expenses and, in extreme cases, death benefits.
If an employee is injured on the job, a workers compensation claim should be field to cover their medical expenses and protect the business against a possible lawsuit. As a rule, businesses in North Carolina must carry workers compensation if they have three or more employees. Even a single employee may benefit from workers compensation insurance, however.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Commercial auto insurance covers vehicles owned or used by a business. A full coverage commercial auto insurance policy may include a lot of the same coverages as a personal auto insurance policy as well as additional coverage such as Hired and Non-Owned Auto, which covers vehicles borrowed or rented by the business.
