General Liability Office Insurance

Office General Liability Insurance is liability coverage that protects and defends against bodily injury or property damage claims where the professional is legally liable.

Additional Coverage We Provide

As part of our customized approach to commercial insurance, we can also recommend additional coverage based on your business. Some common additions you might require include:

  • Home-Based Business Insurance: If you run your business from home, your home insurance does not cover damages related to business operations including inventory, business equipment, and even injuries of employees working with you.
  • Professional Liability: If you offer professional services, additional coverage to protect you against negligence or failure to deliver a service as promised is a must.
  • Director & Officers Liability: If you sit on the board of a public, private or non-profit organization you can be personally pursued for lawsuits related to the actions of the companies or organizations you serve.
  • Cyber Liability Insurance: Today’s businesses are vulnerable to security breaches and cyber hacks that lead to lawsuits as well as containment and repair expenses.

If you aren’t sure about protection for certain aspects of your business, just ask us. We are ready to find tailor-made solutions to suit today’s diverse business operations.

FAQs

  • Does commercial insurance protect online services?

      Yes, we can cover your business operations even when conducted online.

  • What protection do non-profit organizations require?

      Non-profit organizations are vulnerable to claims or allegations ranging from employment disputes to accusations of misuse of funds and from benefits plan omissions to board of directors misconduct.

  • Who is covered by Director & Officers Liability insurance policies?

      Covered individuals include current, past, and future directors, officers, and senior executives of a company.

  • Does my retail insurance cover product shipping or returns?

      No, unless specifically requested, this is not included. Rider for cargo insurance, transit insurance or inland marine insurance protects the value of your shipments even when held in storage while in transit.

  • What kinds of business insurance coverage should I include in my commercial insurance policy?

      This is far too broad a question to answer in general terms. We offer guidance based on your specific needs to ensure you have appropriate coverage based on related risks to your business.

  • How much coverage do I need for commercial general liability insurance?

      Our commercial insurance agents base your commercial general liability (CGL) coverage limit based on the specific risks to your business. We perform industry-related risk assessments to ensure you have enough coverage for the predicted costs related to those risks.

  • Do I need contractor insurance as a handyman?

      Depending on the services you offer, you might not be required by law to have insurance in order to operate as a handyman. However, insurance is designed to protect you against the same liabilities faced by a contractor. As a self-employed handyman, you can be found negligent for injuries or damages caused on the job, which means you will be personally and financially responsible for any settlements and legal fees.

      Coverage is subject to policy wording, terms, conditions and deductibles. Protection is limited to the perils, coverage, exclusions and limits shown on the policy

  • What does commercial insurance typically cover?

      Commercial insurance policies typically cover property damage, liability claims, business interruption, general liability, professional liability, workers’ compensation, commercial, product liability, cyber liability, and other specific needs based on the nature of the business. Coverage can be customized to address unique risks.

  • How is the cost of commercial insurance determined?

      The cost of commercial insurance is determined based on various factors, including the type of business, industry, size of the company, location, revenue, number of employees, claims history, desired coverage limits, and deductible amounts. Insurance providers assess these factors to calculate the premium.

  • Can I customize my commercial insurance policy?

      Yes, many insurance providers, including MMI Insurance, offer customizable commercial insurance policies. You can often tailor your coverage by selecting specific options or endorsements to ensure that the policy aligns with the unique risks and needs of your business.

  • What should I do if I need to file a claim under my commercial insurance policy?

      In the event of a claim, promptly notify your insurance provider and provide all relevant information and documentation related to the incident. Our company will guide you through the insurance claims process, assess the situation, and work with you to settle the claim as efficiently as possible.
