Commercial General Liability Insurance
One of the biggest exposures facing small businesses in South Carolina is the risk of liability. For example, if someone slips and falls on your business premises, you may be found liable. If you sell tainted food which causes an E. coli outbreak, the damages could be catastrophic. If you manufacture a product that causes a consumer’s injury or death, you could be found negligent. These are just a few types of liability claims which may impact even the most safety-conscious businesses.
Unfortunately, legal expenses and damages can add up fast. In some states, there is not even a court-mandated limitation on the amount of liability damage awarded to a plaintiff. It’s important to find a liability insurance policy that protects you from risk.
Professional Liability Insurance
Businesses that provide advice face the risk of professional liability. For example, accountants, lawyers, real estate agents, and financial advisors all provide their clients with professional advice. If that advice results in financial loss and the client sues for damages, the business may be found liable.
If the business is not adequately insured, the business owner’s personal assets may be at risk. For that reason, it’s important to have professional liability insurance to protect against the unique exposures of your business.
Commercial Property Insurance
Property insurance protects your commercial building’s structure from covered causes of loss such as wind and fire. Some policies also provide protection for your business inventory, equipment, boilers, machinery, business income loss and more. If you transport goods you may need goods-in-transit or a separate policy.
