General Liability Insurance for Attorneys
Blanket your firm with protection for normal business operations.
What is General Liability Insurance?
Build a wall of defense around the business side of your law firm.
Otherwise known as a Commercial General Liability (or CGL), a general liability policy can provide you a blanket of financial security in case you’re sued for an injury that occurred at your business, for damaging a visitor’s property, or causing an advertising injury, such as slander, copyright violation, or libel.
What's the difference between General Liability coverage and a BOP?
A BOP adds property insurance, equipment, and business interruption coverage for your firm.
When Does a Lawyer Need General Liability Insurance?
As a business, your law firm is potentially responsible if another person gets hurt or their property is damaged while at the firm. If their property or reputation is damaged because of an action by any employee of the firm, your policy could cover these costs.
General Liability Insurance can help if:
- You or your employees interact with clients face-to-face
- You or your employees have access to a client's property
- Your firm advertises its services
- Your firm uses a third-party location for law firm business
- A contract requires liability insurance outside of malpractice coverage
