The Importance of Additional Commercial Liability

You may have Commercial General Liability Insurance, but is it the right insurance?
Is it enough?

Keeping your business protected is a constant battle in today’s vicious lawsuit happy culture.  Your current Commercial General Liability Insurance probably protects your business when incidents happen as a direct result of your regular operations.  However, there are many situations that may require additional commercial liability policies.  This article will cover three of the additional commercial liability policies most frequently needed by small businesses.

  • Liquor Liability includes covering damages and injuries in which your business is held legally responsible as a result of serving liquor. This kind of liability coverage is traditionally associated with bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, but legal responsibility extends to many businesses outside of those industries.  If your company holds a celebration at which liquor is served, your company may be held liable for damages incurred at the party, as well as if an individual is overserved and causes a car accident as a result of intoxicated driving.
  • Concession Liability insures your special event stand, booth, or display from damage, accidents, or accidental injuries sustained to pedestrians. If your company participates tradeshows, local festivals, or any other special event, you should consider investing in concession liability insurance.  Without this type of policy addition, your company could be responsible for paying medical bills and covering the cost of property damage to others and yourself in the event that your company’s event stand causes or incurs damages or injury.
  • Foreign Liability protects your company’s employees in the event of injury, damages, and lawsuits during out-of-country business trips. If your company requires international travel of any kind, its employees may not be familiar with the laws, customs, and even design of foreign countries, possibly increasing the likelihood of an incident.  It is important to ensure that your commercial liability policy coverage extends to protect your employees and assets in the event that something happens, such as an employee injuring themselves and damaging a company laptop by plugging in the American charger into a British electrical plug.
