General liability coverage may assist in addressing medical expenses, legal fees, settlements and defense costs associated with lawsuits stemming from third-party bodily injury, property damage, product liability and advertising-related claims.
-
Professional liability coverage is designed to safeguard construction businesses from lawsuits arising from errors and omissions in their professional services.
-
Commercial auto coverage comes into play in the event of accidents or damage to third-party property involving the company’s automobiles.

Builders risk coverage helps safeguard construction projects during their construction or renovation phases. This coverage typically provides protection against damage caused by fire, theft, vandalism and specific natural disasters.
