What Does Personal Injury Insurance Mean?
Personal injury insurance protects against losses that arise as a result of causing personal injury to another person. These injuries can include bodily injury as well as non-bodily personal injuries, such as defamation of character or libel.
Personal injury insurance is typically included in standard commercial general liability policies; however, it can also be purchased separately.
