What Is General Liability Insurance—and Why Your Business Needs It

General liability insurance is the foundation of business protection. It covers common risks that nearly every business faces—such as third-party bodily injury, property damage, and legal defense costs. If a customer slips and falls at your location, or your work accidentally causes damage to someone else’s property, general liability insurance helps protect your business from the financial fallout.

This coverage is especially important because even a single accident or lawsuit can lead to significant expenses that could threaten the future of your business. With general liability insurance from Tutela Insurance Services, you gain peace of mind knowing you're covered against unexpected incidents.

General liability is commonly used for:

• Covering legal fees and settlements from injury or property damage claims

• Responding to claims of libel, slander, or advertising-related harm

• Meeting contract or lease requirements with clients, landlords, or vendors

Whether you run a small storefront, a contracting business, or a growing professional service, general liability coverage is essential for protecting your reputation and bottom line. Let Tutela help you secure the right policy to keep your business safe and compliant.
