Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does general liability cover for a Florida business?

General liability covers three categories of third-party claims: bodily injury, property damage, and personal or advertising injury. It also pays your legal defense costs — including attorney fees and court costs — even when the claim is groundless.

Is general liability required in Florida?

Florida does not universally require general liability insurance, but most professional licenses, commercial landlords, and corporate clients do require proof of coverage. It is the baseline protection for Florida businesses operating in any public-facing role.

How much coverage do most businesses carry?

The most common general liability limits are $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate per policy year. Higher-risk trades like construction, food service, and heavy industry often add a commercial umbrella policy for $1–10 million in additional protection.

Can you help meet Florida contractor requirements?

Yes — your local AlbertoInsurance® agent can issue Certificates of Insurance (COIs) for licensing boards, contracts, and bid requirements. Recommended limits depend on your trade and the size of contracts you typically bid.

Are legal expenses covered if I am sued?

Yes — attorney fees, court costs, and settlements are paid by your general liability carrier up to your policy limits. Defense costs are usually paid in addition to your liability limits, but always confirm specifics in your policy wording.
