Commercial General Liability (CGL) Insurance, commonly known as “slip-and-fall insurance,” provides essential coverage to safeguard your business against everyday risks. When a business is held liable, it is responsible for the harm suffered by someone not part of the business.

CGL offers protection in the event of third-party bodily injury or property damage that occurs at your business premises. If an accident occurs and it is determined that your negligence played a role, you could have to pay a substantial settlement amount.

Architects are at risk of being held accountable for mistakes that may occur throughout the entire project, from the initial consultation to construction administration. To safeguard against financial losses resulting from negligence, errors, or failure to fulfill promised services, architects must have professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance.

This coverage is crucial for architects in case of design or planning errors, missed project deadlines, etc.

Equipment and Tools Insurance is for loss or damage to the equipment used for work. For instance, if your set of tools is stolen from a job site overnight, this insurance policy can help cover the expenses of replacing the stolen tools.
