Every business faces exposure to liability losses. A business may become leagally liable or bodily injury suffered by another person or persons, or for damage to or destruction of the property of others. Regardless of who wins or loses a law suit, litigation is time consuming and expensive, no matter how ridiculous the suit may be. Examples:
- Lawsuit for Negligence
- Violation of contact provisions
- A tenant is held responsible for a third party injury occurring on the rented property due to the clause on a lease
- Defective product causes injury to its user

What General Liability Covers
Exposures Excess liability insurance remains the most effective way for companies to protect against the potentially catastrophic financial impact of product liability lawsuits. However, this line of insurance in particular has its own uncertainties. Few insurers have the expertise and financial strength to underwrite complex liability exposures long term.
Some fall victim to financial insolvency; others retreat after realizing the complexity and magnitude of the losses. Meanwhile, companies are often uncertain how much coverage they need and what constitutes “reasonable” terms and conditions.
