Information About Types Of Business Insurance For Your Company

By Tom Addison


Business insurance can help you cope with financial losses due to liabilities connected to your company's operations. Some of these liabilities will involve accidents at the workplace, injury brought about by your products or lawsuits against your company. There are different types of coverage. Choose one the best suits your kind of work.

General Liability coverage is a common type of coverage of businesses. This kind of cover will pay for costs brought by legal suits from injuries and accidents or claims of negligence. It will cover costs related to medical bills to treat injuries, bodily harm, property damage, libel lawsuits and settlement bonds.

Product Liability cover is a common policy for manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors of consumer goods. Product liability cover protects company owners from financial loss as a result of injuries caused by your product. The cost of this kind of coverage depends on what you sell or manufacture. Appliance manufacturers will spend more than clothing retailers.

If you provide a service or are a nurse or physician, you should consider buying a professional liability policy that will pay for costs connected to negligence or malpractice lawsuits. It also covers professional errors, illness or damage caused by your service.

If you own an office building, a high-rise condo building or a hotel, you should get a policy that will cover your property from damage. Some damages that properties can sustain are fire damage, water damage or defacement to property. The policy should also cover your lost earnings due to the damage on your company property.

A home business can also be covered by business insurance. This is different from a homeowners policy that covers your home. If you have a home based company, add a rider to your homeowners policy or get a separate plan that will cover losses from your home based work.
