We’ll help you get the business insurance coverage you need
It’s all about managing your risk. See the different policies available for auto parts shops.
General Liability
Bought by most store owners
General liability is often the first type of coverage auto part store owners buy. General liability is intended to provide coverage for accidental injury or damage to other people or their property.
For example, if a customer slips on a slick floor and breaks their wrist, your insurance could help pay for emergency treatment and medical costs.
Note that this is an example and may not reflect the terms of your specific policy. It’s always a good idea to refer to the coverage details in your own policy.
general liability can help you pay for:
Medical payments
Property damage
Legal fees and judgments
Workers’ Compensation
For business owners with employees
Workers’ compensation insurance can help pay for medical care and lost wages after a workplace injury. Depending on your state, it might be required if you have a certain number of employees. You can add business owner’s coverage with your policy to protect yourself.
workers compensation can help you pay for:
Medical expenses
Lost wages
Employer liability
Commercial Property
For business owners with inventory
Commercial property insurance helps to cover some of the inventory, gear and equipment you own or rent to run your car part store. If a pipe bursts in your shop and ruins your inventory, property insurance could help with the cost of replacing your goods (depending on your coverage details).
commercial property can help you pay for:
Damaged equipment and inventory
Lost income (due to property damage)
Operating expenses
