General Liability
Acuity’s business liability insurance protects you when someone takes legal action against you, including your defense costs when a customer slips on a wet floor or falls on incorrectly installed stairs. With Acuity’s general liability coverage, you will feel at ease knowing we have your back.
Commercial general liability
A General Liability policy provides three primary coverages. Bodily Injury includes coverage for required medical attention and lost work time; property damage includes coverage to repair or replace damaged property, as well as loss of use; and personal and advertising injury includes coverage when you are sued for libel or slander. An Acuity General Liability policy also includes medical payments for small claims that cause injury without having to establish that the insured was actually at fault.
What makes us different?
Acuity automatically adds our “Advantages” endorsement—which gives you five additional coverages at no cost—to every general liability policy. In addition, Acuity automatically applies your policy’s aggregate limit separately for each project and to each location.

FAQs
Have questions? We have answers.
What is the difference between professional liability and general liability?
General liability protects your business against another’s claim of bodily injury, personal injury, or property damage arising out of your operations, your premises, or your products. Professional liability provides protection for similar claims arising out of specific professional services.
Does general liability cover cyber liability insurance?
No. There is no coverage for data breach, cyber liability, or identity theft. Learn more about the Acuity Cyber Suite.
Does general liability cover liquor liability?
Unfortunately, this is not a simple answer. Your general liability policy provides coverage if your business does not sell, manufacture or furnish alcoholic beverages. A business that sells beer, wine, or liquor, such as a bar, restaurant or liquor store, would need to purchase a separate liquor liability policy.
