It’s all about managing your risk. See the different policies available for tire shops.
General Liability
Bought by most store owners
General liability is often the first type of insurance for tire repair shops that 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 some spilled coffee in the waiting area and breaks their ankle, 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 who hire 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.
