What is General Liability insurance coverage?

Whether you own a construction company in Yuma, a family restaurant in Chandler or run a retail shop in Flagstaff, you’ll want the financial safety net that general liability insurance can help provide.

General liability coverage is often the first business insurance purchased by Arizona’s 641,000 small businesses who employ more than 1.1 million employees.1 It provides broad protection for common accidents that can affect any business.

A commercial general liability policy in Arizona can help provide a financial safety net after unforeseen events. It can help cover expenses for:

  • Legal defense costs if your business is sued.
  • If someone (other than an employee) says your business caused bodily injury.
  • Property damage caused on the job.
  • Some cases of advertising injury or reputational harm.

Does Arizona require General Liability insurance?

It’s a good idea to have general liability coverage, even though Arizona does not require you to purchase small business insurance. General liability can help protect you from out-of-pocket costs.

Here are some of the reasons general liability is recommended:

If you’re accused of causing personal injury, damaging someone’s property or have to defend your business after a lawsuit, general liability coverage can help cover costs and keep your business running.

Business development

Some clients may require proof of insurance before they’ll let you bid on their project or hire you for a job. Arizona general liability coverage helps demonstrate your professionalism.

Leasing property

A general liability policy is often necessary in Arizona to rent an office or commercial space. Many landlords will require a certificate of insurance and a minimum level of coverage before they’ll offer you a lease.

Other insurance important for Arizona small business owners

Most businesses need more than one kind of insurance to help protect their business. Also consider:
Workers Compensation
Workers’ Compensation insurance

Almost all companies with one or more employees are required by Arizona law to carry workers’ comp insurance.2 This type of coverage can help pay medical expenses, rehabilitation costs and lost wages if employees are hurt on the job.

Commercial Auto
Commercial Auto insurance

Arizona law requires every motor vehicle in that state to be insured, so if your company owns autos or drives for business you’ll need commercial auto insurance.3 Keep in mind that personal auto policies won’t cover auto accidents when you’re driving for business.

Commercial Property
Commercial Property insurance

Commercial property insurance can help protect your physical assets including inventory, equipment and buildings. It can help pay for business property that’s damaged or destroyed after a covered event, such as water, fire or wind incidents.

Errors & Omissions
Professional Liability (E&O) insurance

Professional liability insurance in Arizona, also called errors and omissions insurance, can help provide financial protection if someone claims that you made a professional mistake that caused them financial loss. It can also cover damages and legal fees if you’re sued.
