Personal Liability Insurance

What does personal liability cover for a homeowners insurance policy?

I’m self employed (gardening business) and have 4 employees and I have lots of customers. I’m getting a homeowners policy but I’m wondering if I should get 300K or 500K personal liability coverage. Will this coverage also cover me if someone or my customers tries to sue me? For example, I heard if my kid was at the park and if something did happen and he injured someone personal liability should cover it. So would it also cover my business if anyone sues me? Someone recommended a umbrella policy but what is that exactly and what does it cover? How much would it cost?Because I won’t have a lot of income left after my two mortgage payments and miscellaneous expenses (including business expenses). thank you in advance.

Your HO insurer will cover personal liability issues and lawsuits resulting from your ownership of a home. Business related activities are specifically excluded (some policies have an endorsement for incidental business use IE a customer drops off a check at your house). Your kid at the park should be covered (varies by state and policy..civil law stuff)

If you have a business with four employees, you should have a business GL(general liability) policy that covers a gardening business. This will defend you if your customers sue you for something you or your employees did related to gardening.

Umbrella policies vary by company; some are extensions of existing underlying coverage, others offer coverage beyond your HO and auto insurance; either way they will not cover your business.

My recommendation: get a business GL policy to cover your business and take the 500K limit on your HO policy. Later when money is not so tight, get a personnal umbrella.

Business insurance: Okay to be added to my suppliers insurance?

I am trying to get general commercial liability for a business I am starting in Ontario, Canada. I just got a quote saying that they require me to be added to my supplier’s insurance. I don’t see why I need to be mentioned on the supplier’s insurance when I am buying the product and reselling, I am not working for the supplier. I am working independently, as a wholesaler, you could say. Will this be a hastle, will the supplier or his insurance have lots of questions for me, or is it standard?
Thanks all!

Right. Your supplier probably gets LOTS of these requests, to add the retailer as additional insured – vendor. MOST if not ALL of the businesses he sells to, will be requiring this.

You are buying the product and reselling. If the product is defective, and there is a product liability lawsuit involved, you want cover under the supplier’s policy, not yours.

Most insurance companies will REFUSE to give you product liability coverage, if your supplier doesn’t have any product liability coverage, or won’t add you to their policy.

As a wholesaler, you WOULD be named in any lawsuit for a product liability case.

Hi, I’m looking around for rates for liability insurance for myself. My boss recently found out a few of his employees are no longer covered under his. I’m wondering is anyone knows of any good sites to get quotes from. I think I need a minimum of 500,000 in coverage . Thanks

Why would “a few of his employees are no longer covered under his”? Did they become independent contractors? Is the company no longer insured? Regardless without knowing what you do the question is impossible to answer. Contact several local insurance brokers and inquire with them.

It is important to note that a contractor’s public liability insurance policy may not cover sub-contractors who may have been engaged for a job.  Even if the main contractor’s public liability insurance responds in the event of a claim for which the sub-contractor is liable, the contractor’s insurer may not recover the claim amount from the sub-contractor.Sub-contractors are deemed to be self-employed, and employers should always check that sub-contractors have their own current and adequate public liability insurance before allowing them to enter a job site.
