Commercial Insurance in Texas

In a perfect world, Texas business owners would never have to worry about unforeseen events or anything going wrong. However, the reality is that we live in a world of uncertainty that is fraught with accidents, hazards, and unfortunate situations and circumstances that can and do happen frequently. Commercial liability insurance (also known as commercial general liability insurance and business liability insurance, protects your Texas business from financial losses that result from claims of damage or injury caused to others by you or your employees.

Why Do I Need General Commercial Liability Insurance?

There are a variety of unexpected events that can happen to threaten your business’ livelihood. For example, a customer may slip, fall, or get injured while on your premises, an employee may unintentionally damage a client’s property, or you may allegedly fail to satisfactorily perform a service. There are many risks that Texas businesses face on a daily basis. Because there are unlimited possibilities of liability, a commercial general liability insurance policy is something you truly cannot do without.

What Does Commercial Liability Insurance Cover?

Carrying appropriate commercial general liability coverage in Texas protects your business from the financial burdens that may result if you are sued for damage or injury that arise from your business operations or employee actions. These include:
