Why should I have General Liability?
On a day to day basis, it’s likely that you and your employees are interacting with many people, such as clients, vendors and contractors. Any one of them could experience an injury or loss on your property or in the course of your business operations.
As an attorney, you know better than anyone
,
that if you are responsible for someone’s injury or property damage, they just might file a lawsuit against you. A General Liability policy is the easiest way to help protect your business against the high cost of litigation, settlements and judgements.
If you have a Business Owners Policy
,
you don’t need General Liability. It is included there.
