If a customer slips and falls in your shop, your business could be sued. If a delivery person damages a client's property, you could face a claim. If a visitor is injured at your office, you are legally responsible.
General liability insurance India covers these risks. It pays for legal defence costs and compensation when a third party claims that your business caused them physical injury or property damage.
Protect your commercial operations against public lawsuits
General liability insurance, also called commercial general liability (CGL), protects your business against claims from people outside your company. If a third party is injured or their property is damaged because of your business operations, GL insurance covers the cost.

Commercial general liability covers your enterprise across physical accidents, property damages, personal injury, immediate medical costs, and litigation expenses.
