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. When you have general liability insurance, you pay regular premiums to an insurer, and in return, the insurer helps cover legal costs, settlements, and damages if you or your business are found liable for causing harm to others. 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.
