Liability insurance is the foundation of coverage every small business needs. Whether a client spills coffee on a client's computer or a product causes injury, you need to have protection. Here are a few of the basic coverages you should keep in mind:

• General Liability Coverage: What happens if a customer trips and suffers an injury in your store? According to the 2015 Travelers Business Risk Summary, 60% of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and over 30% said they felt the least prepared to handle this concern. Get comprehensive general liability to protect you from the smallest of incidents.
• Product Liability Insurance: According to a national study, 71% of product liability awards and 53% of medical malpractice awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more. If your company sells, manufactures or distributes a product that could potentially malfunction, you need this protection. A Trusted Choice agent can explain how you'll be covered financially from associated legal costs.
• Professional Liability Insurance: Errors & omissions insurance is for consultants, lawyers, architects and professionals who regularly give advice. A negligence claim or lawsuit can impact you tenfold financially, which is why it's essential to have proper coverage.
