General Liability Insurance
General Liability insurance covers the costs of legal fees from physical damage or bodily injury caused from your business. It covers court costs, attorney fees and the settlement, if any is made. Imagine the peace of mind you’d have being free from worry about the attorney costs as the liability case grinds on—and knowing your business is protected no matter the outcome.
