Definition:

General liability insurance is a type of coverage that offers protection to businesses and individuals against financial losses resulting from third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury.

This insurance is vital for shielding individuals and businesses from the financial repercussions of legal claims and liabilities arising from accidents or incidents that occur on their premises or as a result of their actions.
