General Liability Insurance in Dallas
Covers third-party bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury. The foundation of every commercial insurance program in Dallas.
What General Liability Insurance Covers in Dallas
General liability insurance responds when a third party suffers bodily injury or property damage because of your business operations. If someone slips in your Dallas storefront, GL pays their medical bills and your legal defense. If your crew damages a client's property on a job site, GL covers the repair costs.
Standard policies carry $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate limits. Your landlord, clients, and general contractors will almost always specify minimum GL limits in their contracts before you can work together.
Who Needs General Liability in Dallas
Almost every Dallas business. Contractors need it before stepping on any job site. Retailers need it because customers walk through their doors. Restaurants face constant slip-and-fall exposure. Service businesses visiting client locations carry GL because they work in someone else's space.
What General Liability Costs in Dallas
A small consulting firm: $400 to $1,200/year. A retail store or restaurant: $1,500 to $4,000. Contractors: $2,500 to $8,000+ depending on trade, revenue, and claims history. The biggest factors: industry code, revenue, payroll, and claims history.
Dallas-Specific General Liability Risks
Dallas construction is booming, and GCs require higher GL limits than five years ago. Slip-and-fall claims spike during winter ice storms. Make sure your policy doesn't exclude wind or hail damage to third-party property during your operations.
