What is the difference between liability insurance and general liability insurance?
As a lawyer, I can explain the difference between liability insurance and general liability insurance.
Liability insurance is a type of insurance that covers an individual or business against claims made by third parties for damages or injuries caused by the insured. For example, if an individual is involved in a car accident, liability insurance could cover the costs of any injuries or property damage caused by the insured.
General liability insurance, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive type of insurance that covers a broader range of risks. It typically covers claims for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury (such as defamation or invasion of privacy), and advertising injury (such as copyright infringement or false advertising).
In general, liability insurance is often more specific and targeted than general liability insurance. Liability insurance may only cover certain types of claims, while general liability insurance covers a wide range of claims.
It's important to note that there may be limitations or exceptions to the coverage provided by both types of insurance. For example, both liability insurance and general liability insurance may have exclusions for intentional acts or criminal behavior.
If an individual or business is unsure about their insurance coverage or has concerns about a potential claim, it's important to consult with a licensed attorney who can provide personalized legal advice and guidance.
