General Liability

Does the general liability coverage extend to clients’ homes?

Automobile

Can I provide primary coverage for my employees/independent contractors driving their own autos for company purposes?

Yes, all employees and independent contractors that drive for company purposes should maintain their own personal auto insurance policy with minimum liability limits of $100,000. Proof should be required annually and kept in the employee’s file.
