Guide to Business Liability Insurance

How to protect your business from devastating liability costs


You've worked long, hard hours to build your business into a profitable enterprise. Now you need to protect it with general liability insurance that will cover such instances as the following: a customer trips on the carpet in your shop; a client injures herself using your product; an employee breaks a 17th century antique while on the job; or a coffeemaker left on overnight ignites a fire and damages your landlord's building and other tenants' property.

Here are three things you need to know:

  1. General liability insurance usually covers medical expenses, legal fees and damages when you're legally responsible.
  2. Umbrella liability insurance protects your business from liability claims above and beyond your general and auto liability limits.
  3. A business owner's policy, or BOP, is an affordable package that combines general liability and property coverage – perfect for small to medium-sized, low-risk businesses.


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Surf the Web for the best deals Insurance search engines will comb hundreds of sites and offer instant quotes from multiple agents. General liability and property packages are competitively priced, but premiums do differ for small business policies.

I recommend:  Try Insurance Finder, LowQuotes.com or InsuranceNoodle, which work with prescreened insurance professionals nationwide and offer free quotes.

Decide what you need Depending on what industry you are in, your needs for various types of liability insurance will vary.

I recommend:  Insure.com has a handy tool that lets you scroll a list of occupations – from accountant to pet groomer to Web designer – then will instantly recommend what liability insurance you may need based on the risks your business faces. For example, for freelance writers who work at home it recommends an add-on to homeowner's insurance to cover lawsuits. The Web site also defines types of business coverage – from accounts receivables to parking lot liability.

Check out the giants Discover what major insurance companies are offering. This gives you a base by which to compare all the others – and you may decide to stick to the tried-and-true companies.

I recommend:  Go to State Farm to find an agent who can sell you nine types of business liability insurance, including, cyberspace liability and employment practices liability which covers sexual harassment and wrongful termination. Zurich for North America is a Swiss-based company that's been providing insurance for small businesses for 100 years. Nationwide will analyze your needs and customize a plan.

Go with someone who knows your industry inside out If you go to an insurance company that specializes in your field, you'll deal with agents who know exactly what the unique issues are in your area and be able to help you with niche problems. If you're in high-tech, buy from a company with high-tech experience.

I recommend:  Techinsurance.com is an e-agent specializing in serving tech companies. InsureWithWalker specializes in rates for builders and construction industry trades. Nationwide offers liability insurance for agribusiness and farms.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Pay attention to the time frame your policy covers. Not all mistakes will be discovered at the time they're made. It may be years before the effects of bad financial advice or a computer error surfaces.
  • Trade associations such as the Chamber of Commerce often offer group rates.
  • Scrutinize policy details to find out if and how much legal fees are covered.
