What Does Business Insurance Cover?
There are many types of coverage and policies available depending on your industry and business needs. Some of the important coverages offered to businesses through Avalon Insurance Agency include:
General Liability
General liability insurance protects your business from claims concerning non-professional negligence. It covers three main areas:
-
Bodily Injury: Bodily injury liability as part of a general liability insurance policy covers medical bills someone else may suffer on your business’ property.
-
Property Damage: Property damage liability provides compensation to those whose property is destroyed or damaged as a result of the business’ everyday activities.
-
Personal and Advertising Injury: Personal and advertising injury covers claims against the business concerning libel, slander, copyright infringement, theft of an advertising idea and more.
Another side of general liability also protects your business in case of lawsuits related to the above, including coverage for court fees, defense costs, settlement expenses and more.
There are additional liability options aside from general liability that can be tailored for your business, including:
-
Professional Liability: Professional liability covers claims against the business concerning professional negligence.
-
Products Liability: Products liability provides coverage for claims concerning bodily injury and property damage caused by a product manufactured or offered by the business.
-
Cyber Liability: Cyber liability insurance covers claims concerning breached, damaged or destroyed information stored electronically.
-
Umbrella Liability: Umbrella liability insurance fills in the gaps in the business’ other liability policies.
Workers Compensation
Workers compensation protects your employees and your business in case of a workplace injury. This insurance can cover medical expenses, disability benefits, wage replacement and more.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Commercial auto insurance covers vehicles owned or used by a business for work purposes. If your business concerns travel or transportation, you may need commercial auto insurance to protect the vehicles, drivers, passengers and everyone else on the road. These policies may include a range of coverages also available on a personal auto insurance policy such as comprehensive coverage, collision coverage, liability, medical payments coverage and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
