If your business is sued, general liability insurance protects you against legal liability resulting from covered claims of others for bodily injury and damage to their property. This insurance also covers your defense costs and attorney fees arising from such claims.
A lawsuit and subsequent money damages may result from bodily injury, property damage, personal injury (such as libel, slander, invasion of privacy, etc.) or advertising injury. These injuries may stem from the business premises, ongoing operations away from the business premises, or operations or products your business has completed.
Additional liability, such as that arising from the use of an auto or from injuries to employees, is insured under other coverages, such as commercial auto or Workers' Compensation.
