Liability provides coverage for claims or losses in which you can be held liable for damages or in which you have been accused of being responsible. Comprehensive coverage would also provide coverage for other aspects of your business, such as property, inventory, business autos and equipment, cash flow, etc..
Vicarious liability is a form of a strict, secondary liability that arises under the common law doctrine of agency, respondeat superior, the responsibility of the superior for the acts of their subordinate or, in a broader sense, the responsibility of any third party that had the "right, ability or duty to control" the activities of a violator. It can be distinguished from contributory liability, another form of secondary liability, which is rooted in the tort theory of enterprise liability because, unlike contributory infringement, knowledge is not an element of vicarious liability
Public liability and civil liability are related but not identical concepts. Public liability specifically refers to a type of insurance that protects businesses and individuals from claims made by third parties for injuries or damages that occur on their premises or as a result of their activities. Civil liability, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of legal responsibilities and obligations that arise from civil law, including torts and contracts, and can include various forms of liability beyond just public interactions. Essentially, public liability is a subset of civil liability focused on public interactions and safety.
Druggist liability typically refers to the legal responsibility of a pharmacy or pharmacist for the dispensing of medications and potential harm caused by errors in that process, such as dispensing the wrong drug or dosage. In contrast, pharmacy professional liability encompasses a broader scope, including the pharmacist's overall professional services, such as patient counseling, drug therapy management, and any negligence that may arise from their professional judgment. While both types of liability focus on protecting patients, druggist liability is more centered on the act of dispensing, whereas pharmacy professional liability covers a wider range of professional responsibilities.
Personal Liability insurance is purchased by individuals and is normally included as part of a residential insurance policy, such as a Homeowners, Condo or Tenants package. It provides the insured with protection against lawsuits from third parties arising from the ownership and/or occupancy of the residence, including the personal actions of insured persons (eg. a visitor to the residence slips and falls on the front walkway due to a build up of ice/snow). General Liability insurance is the common abbreviation used in the industry to refer to "Commercial General Liability" insurance. A Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance policy is purchased by a business and provides protection against claims by third parties for Bodiliy Injury and Property damage arising from the operations of the insured. Example: ABC Construction Inc. wins a contract to construct a new office building. During construction one of ABC's employees drops a hammer which hits a passing pedestrian on the head. The pedestrian sues ABC Construction for his/her injuries. ABC's general liability insurer will defend ABC in the lawsuit and pay any judgment which may be rendered against ABC (up to the policy limit). Hope this helps.
Tort is a broader category of civil wrongs that includes negligence. Negligence specifically refers to the failure to exercise reasonable care, which can result in harm to others. In terms of legal liability, proving negligence requires showing that a duty of care was owed, that it was breached, and that the breach caused harm. Tort, on the other hand, encompasses a wider range of wrongful acts beyond negligence.
Incidental liability coverage is a type of insurance that protects individuals or businesses from legal liabilities arising from unforeseen events or accidents that occur during incidental activities not primarily related to their main operations. For instance, a business may have incidental liability coverage if a customer gets injured on their premises during a promotional event. This coverage helps to shield against financial losses from legal claims, including medical expenses and legal fees. It's often included in broader liability insurance policies to provide additional protection.
In Arizona, even if subcontractors provide their own general liability insurance, it's often required for the primary contractor to maintain their own policy to cover any additional risks or liabilities that may arise during a project. This dual coverage helps protect against gaps in the subcontractor's insurance, ensuring that the primary contractor is safeguarded from potential claims. Furthermore, having your own liability insurance can also fulfill contractual obligations and provide broader protection for your business. Ultimately, it's a prudent risk management strategy.
Normally it is not covered by a CGL policy. However some carriers can add this coverage by endorsement. The recomendation would be to buy a stand alone professional policy. they normally provide broader coverage. Review the policy carefully as these can be very complicated and are normally written on claims made basis instead of a occurrence form. Make sure you clearly understand the differences or you could be caught without coverage at some point in time.
You have to hope the guy who hit it offer up his liability coverage. You might consider broader Auto Insurance Coverage in the future when you can afford it.
Yes, the personal liability supplement to the Dwelling Property (DP) program is quite similar to Section II of the Homeowners (HO) policy. Both provide personal liability coverage for incidents that occur on or off the insured property. However, the DP program typically offers more limited coverage options and may not include certain features found in the HO policy, such as additional living expenses or broader coverage for personal property.
