Liability

Millions of lawsuits are filed in the U.S. every year that can be detrimental to business owners if they don’t have adequate liability coverage. Liability insurance protects your business from lawsuits. It is necessary for all business owners. The amount and type you obtain depend on the nature of your business. Here are the main types of liability insurance coverage:

• Professional liability — this pertains to professional negligence or malpractice.
• Product liability — this type of coverage protects against injury on your property.
• Employment practices liability — this coverage pertains to an employee suing over wrongful practices within the workplace.
• Workman’s compensation liability — this coverage is for employees injured while on the job.

Business insurance also includes coverage in the event that the office closes for a period of time due to damages. Standard business coverage will take care of lost wages and revenue, but you may want to look into extra coverage in case you need to relocate temporarily while the business is repaired.
