Someone's filing of a lawsuit against your company can lead to financial losses significant enough to force your company into bankruptcy unless you have the right liability insurance coverage. Liability insurance provides compensation for legal defense, court costs and financial damages resulting from covered lawsuits. An agent can help you identify the types of liability insurance that you may want to include in your commercial insurance policy, including the following:

• General liability insurance: This insurance covers costs associated with third-party injuries and property damage that occur on your business premises. This is particularly important considering how expensive treatment for accidental 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 insurance provides coverage if your business is sued because of injuries or property damage caused by a product you produce, promote or sell. According to a national study, 71 percent of product liability awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more.
• Professional liability insurance: This insurance, which is also called errors and omissions insurance, covers professionals in your employ against lawsuits brought on by mistakes or errors in judgment. Medical malpractice insurance is a well-known example of professional liability insurance. In this case, 53 percent of medical malpractice awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more.
