Bodily Injury Liability Coverage is a critical component of General Liability Insurance that protects businesses from the financial and legal consequences of third-party injuries. If a customer, visitor, vendor, or member of the public is physically injured due to your business operations, services, or premises, this coverage helps pay for medical expenses, lost wages, legal defense costs, and settlements.
From slip-and-fall accidents to injuries caused by tools, equipment, or professional services, bodily injury claims can arise without warning. Without proper liability protection, even a single incident could result in costly lawsuits or long-term financial strain. This coverage ensures your business remains protected while meeting its legal responsibilities.
Whether included in a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) or purchased as part of a standalone General Liability Insurance policy, Bodily Injury Liability Coverage provides essential protection for businesses of all sizes and industries.
This coverage is essential for any business that:
Has customer or client foot traffic
Provides on-site or off-site services
Operates physical locations, offices, or job sites
Uses tools, equipment, or machinery
Interacts with the public, vendors, or contractors
Industries that commonly rely on Bodily Injury Liability Coverage include retail stores, contractors, professional offices, restaurants, service providers, and property-based businesses.
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage typically protects against:
Slip, trip, and fall accidents
Injuries caused by unsafe conditions
