As the fifth most populated city in the United States, Philadelphia, PA has become a destination of choice for small-business owners. In the "City of Brotherly Love," you'll find seven Fortune 500 companies and thousands of small businesses competing for attention from local residents and the 39 million tourists that visit every year. 

Liability coverage is the first type of insurance that every Philadelphia small business will need. There are three types of liability coverage that can protect you against a mountain of medical bills, product liability lawsuits and claims of negligence. 

  • General Liability: This most basic form of liability coverage protects small businesses from typical lawsuits for accidents and injuries. If a patron slips and falls on your property due to your negligence, you'll be responsible for covering that person's medical costs. According to the 2015 Travelers Business Risk Summary, 60 percent of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and more than 30 percent said they felt least prepared to handle this issue.
  • Product Liability: According to a national study, 71 percent of product liability awards and 53 percent of medical malpractice awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more. For a small business, being ordered to pay a million dollars is basically a death sentence. If you have product liability coverage, you won't have to worry that a single lawsuit will be the end of your entrepreneurial dreams in Philadelphia.
  • Professional Liability: For Philadelphia business that provide services rather than retail product sales, professional liability coverage is especially important. If your services ever lead to physical or property damage, this commercial insurance option will have your back and protect you from expensive lawsuits by paying legal fees and any resulting settlements.
