Liability Insurance for Small Businesses in Park City

Lawsuits can happen at any time, and they can be financially devastating. Even if the courts rule in your favor, your legal defense fees alone could add up to tens of thousands of dollars. That is why it is so important that business insurance include the right liability coverage. This can shield you from significant financial losses by covering your legal defense, court costs and other expenses. An agent can help you identify the types of liability insurance that are right for your business. These may include the following:

• General liability insurance: This covers costs associated with injuries and property damage suffered by third-parties while on your business premises. This can be particularly beneficial considering how expensive treatment for injuries can be. According to a recent Travelers Business Risk Summary, 60 percent of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and over 30 percent said they felt the least prepared to handle this concern.
• Product liability insurance: This covers your business if it is sued because a product you produce, promote or sell is defective and causes damage or injuries to others. According to a national study, 71 percent of product liability awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more.
• Professional liability insurance: Also referred to as errors and omissions insurance, this covers those in professional positions against lawsuits brought on by mistakes or errors in judgement. Medical malpractice insurance is the most well-known example of professional liability insurance. In this particular example, 53 percent of medical malpractice awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more.
