Business Liability Insurance Features

Business liability insurance coverage insures your business in the event of accidents and injury that might occur on your premises and exposures related to your products. It will protect your business from possible huge payments for bodily injury or property damage to a third party and for medical expenses resulting from the underlying incident. It will also absorb the cost of defending lawsuits that may include investigations or settlements, and for any judgments or bonds required during an appeal.

 What You Need to Know About:“EPLI”

Employment practice Liability Insurance can protect you and your business from events that are not covered under most general liability insurance policies such as:

• Discrimination (failure or refusal to hire or any other wrongful treatment of people based on their race, sex, color, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability or other status that is protected by federal, state, or local statute or ordinance);
• Harassment (of either a sexual or non-sexual nature); and
• Wrongful Termination (any actual or alleged wrongful dismissal, discharge or termination of employment, including breach of contract).

Your reaction to bad behavior may be completely justified; it may even be a smart business decision that would appear to be beyond reproach.  But, if you’re challenged, and you have to go to court to defend yourself, you’re on your own unless you have Employment Practices Liability Insurance.  And the cost of defending these claims can be HUGE! In Fact In Most Cases The Cost Of Defense Is The Greatest Cost!
