General Liability Insurance for Optimal Coverage

A solid general liability insurance policy may be what stands between you and the dramatic financial repercussions of a lawsuit. Build a plan for your benefit with NEC Insurance.

What Is the Point of Liability Insurance for Small Businesses?

Every business should have some form of general liability insurance coverage. In the event of a lawsuit, this type of insurance can help protect your business from financial ruin, providing a safety net for unexpected expenses.

General liability insurance is a type of insurance coverage that protects businesses against lawsuits related to injury or property damage caused by their operations. It can also protect against allegations of negligence or wrongdoing. General liability policies cover potential losses and liabilities, including medical bills, court costs, and legal fees. It’s important to note that this policy doesn’t cover intentional acts, professional services, or contractual obligations. For insurance dealing with contracts, you should investigate contract bonding plans.

We have the knowledge and experience to secure insurance products that suit your mission. Our agents develop strategies that maximize your benefits and optimize protection.

Understand Your Options for Business Liability Insurance

In addition to general liability insurance, there are two other types of policies available to provide extra protection for your business: umbrella liability insurance and professional liability insurance. When you work with NEC Insurance, our agents explore your current situation and determine which plan best fits your structure.

Umbrella Liability Insurance for Businesses
Umbrella coverage is designed to provide businesses an extra layer of protection beyond what general liability policies provide. This policy typically covers the cost of judgments and settlements exceeding the limits on your primary policy if you’re sued for damages or negligence.
Professional Liability Insurance Coverage
Professional liability insurance covers issues specifically related to services provided by your business. This policy covers claims that may arise due to errors in professional advice or services rendered by your staff members or advisors. It can help protect against financial losses arising from negligence or malpractice claims, as well as from charges related to copyright infringement and libel.
