Understanding Your Coverage Options
Not sure what you need? Here is a quick breakdown of the most common commercial policies.
General Liability (GL)
The foundation of business protection.
Protects against third-party claims of bodily injury or property damage. If a customer slips in your store or you damage a client's property, GL covers it.
Business Owners Policy (BOP)
The ultimate bundle for small businesses.
Combines General Liability with Commercial Property Insurance and Business Interruption Insurance at a discounted bundled rate.
Workers' Compensation
Required by NC law for most employers.
Covers medical bills and lost wages if an employee is injured on the job. Protects the business from employee lawsuits related to workplace injuries.
Real-World Claim Scenarios
How commercial insurance saves your bottom line.
The Slip and Fall Lawsuit
A customer slips on a wet floor in your Winston-Salem retail store, breaking their hip. They sue your business for $150,000 in medical bills and lost wages.
With General Liability: Your policy covers the legal defense costs and the $150,000 settlement. Your business survives.
The Devastating Fire
An electrical fire destroys your restaurant's kitchen. It will take 4 months to rebuild, meaning 4 months of zero revenue while you still have to pay rent.
With a BOP: Commercial Property pays to rebuild the kitchen. Business Interruption pays your lost net income and ongoing expenses (like rent) during the 4 months you are closed.
