Liability Insurance

Liability Insurance covers the legal liability of a business arising out of third-party bodily injury, property damage, or financial loss caused during the course of business operations.

Businesses of all sizes are exposed to liability risks. Even minor incidents can lead to legal claims involving significant compensation and litigation costs. Liability Insurance helps protect businesses from such unforeseen financial burdens.

How Liability Insurance Works

Under a Liability Insurance policy, the insurer indemnifies the insured against claims made by third parties for damages, legal defense costs, and court-awarded compensation, subject to policy terms and limits.

The policy provides coverage for incidents occurring during the policy period. Claims are settled up to the selected sum insured after assessment and verification.
