Simply put, liability insurance covers you for damages you are held legally responsible for causing bodily injury or property damage to someone else. Here are the more common types:
· Personal Auto – for damages caused while driving your vehicle.
· Professional (Errors & Omissions)- for damages caused while performing your occupation: doctors, lawyers, accountants, computer consultants, etc.
· Personal- for damages caused during everyday life: recreation, travel, daily routine not included above.
· General - covers losses caused by negligent acts on the premises of a business, injury resulting from the use of a product manufactured or distributed by a business.
· Business Auto – coverage for cars, trucks and vans used by employees for business purposes. Business vehicles are not covered by a business owners policy or personal auto insurance.
· Employer’s Liability (Worker’s Comp) for when you are injured working as an employee.
· D&O (Officers & Directors) cover the acts of those in the director or officer position of a company or non-profit organization.
Note: intentional or illegal acts are never covered by insurance.
