General Liability Insurance

Often referred to Public & Products Liability or Combined Liability, it's the insurance that protects you as the insured against claims for compensation resulting from Personal Injury or Property Damage for which you are found legally liable. Every registered business entity should have General Liability cover.Many business owners don't believe they need Product Liability cover. Let's have a quick look at a sample definition of 'Product'; 'Anything after it has ceased to be in your possession manufactured, constructed, erected, installed, repaired, serviced, treated, sold, supplied or distributed...'As can be seen, this is very broad with cover subsequently limited by exclusions.
