General Liability Insurance

General Liability Insurance

General liability insurance protects your business when a third party — a customer, vendor, or passerby — claims you caused bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury. It’s usually the first policy a business buys, and many landlords, clients, and contracts require proof of it before you can even start work. Covella compares carriers across Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky to build a general liability policy sized to your actual operations.

What it covers

third-party bodily injury and property damage · advertising injury (libel, slander, copyright claims in ads) · legal defense costs, even for baseless claims · medical payments to an injured third party regardless of fault (small limits, no lawsuit required)

Who needs it

virtually every business with a physical location, employees, or client-facing operations — required by most commercial leases, client contracts, and licensing boards.

What affects the cost

industry/class code, revenue or payroll, claims history, and the liability limit selected (most small businesses start at $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate).
