Who needs general liability insurance?
General liability insurance is often combined with property insurance in a Business Owners Policy (BOP), but it’s also available to many contractors as a stand-alone coverage through the Progressive Advantage® Business Program.
As a contractor or small business owner, you need some form of business liability insurance to safeguard your livelihood.
A single accident could result in a lawsuit that you might not be able to handle. A great way to protect against this is to ensure you have liability coverage that matches your exposure level.
Some employers or clients might also require you to carry a certain amount of general liability before you can work for them.
