Why General Liability Is Essential for Business Owners

It only takes one claim to derail your hard work

General liability insurance covers your business if someone is hurt or their property is damaged due to your work. Without it, you could be responsible for medical bills, repair costs, or even legal fees. This policy is the backbone of most small business insurance programs—and many landlords and clients require it before you can do business.

Coverage Highlights:


  • Bodily Injury: Covers medical expenses if someone gets hurt on your premises or job site.
  • Property Damage: Helps pay for damage to someone else’s property caused by your work.
  • Legal Defense Costs: Covers attorney fees, court costs, and settlements—even if you’re not found at fault.
  • Completed Operations Coverage: Protects you from claims related to work you've finished that later causes harm.

Your Liability Questions, Answered

What Small Business Owners Want to Know

You’ve got questions—we’re here to simplify the answers

  • Is general liability required in Washington State?

     It’s not legally required for most businesses, but many landlords, lenders, or contracts will require proof of coverage.

  • How much does general liability insurance cost?

    Same day. We send it electronically to the DMV while we’re still on the phone with you.

  • Does general liability cover employees?

    No. You’ll need workers’ compensation for employee injuries (we currently do not offer workers’ comp).

  • Does this policy cover damage to my tools or equipment?

    No—this policy protects against third-party claims. You’d need commercial property or inland marine coverage for your own gear.

  • Can I get proof of insurance quickly?

    Yes. In many cases, we can issue certificates of insurance (COIs) the same day you sign up.
