General Liability Insurance
Protect Your Oklahoma Business from Everyday Risks
Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance is a fundamental coverage for businesses of all sizes in Oklahoma. It protects your business from financial loss due to claims of bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury caused by your business operations, products, or employees. Without this coverage, a single lawsuit could threaten the financial stability of your entire business.
In Oklahoma, general liability insurance is often required by landlords, clients, and government contracts. It's one of the first policies most businesses purchase and forms the foundation of a comprehensive commercial insurance program.
Coverage Options
Bodily Injury Liability
Covers medical expenses, legal fees, and damages if a third party is injured on your business premises or as a result of your business operations. For example, if a customer slips and falls in your store, this coverage pays for their medical bills and any resulting lawsuit costs.
Property Damage Liability
Protects your business if you or your employees accidentally damage someone else's property. This is essential for businesses that work at client locations, such as contractors, cleaners, or repair services, where accidental damage to a client's property is a real risk.
Personal and Advertising Injury
Covers claims of libel, slander, copyright infringement, and false advertising. In today's digital world, where businesses actively market online and on social media, this coverage protects against claims arising from your advertising activities.
Products and Completed Operations
Covers liability arising from products your business manufactures, sells, or distributes, as well as work you have completed. If a product you sold causes injury or damage after it leaves your hands, this coverage responds to the resulting claims.
Medical Payments Coverage
Pays for minor medical expenses for third parties injured on your premises, regardless of fault. This 'goodwill' coverage can help resolve small claims quickly without litigation, preserving customer relationships and your business reputation.
