General liability insurance

Non-profit and human services general liability insurance.

General liability insurance that is designed for non-profits offers all the benefits needed to secure your organization’s future. As a leader in a nonprofit or human services organization, it’s important to understand how general liability insurance protects your company’s interests. General liability insurance allows you to fight for your organization’s mission without worrying about how a potential lawsuit might affect its operations and financial stability.

Nonprofit organizations are just as vulnerable to legal liabilities and financial losses due to claims from third parties as any other company. That is why it’s important to invest in general liability insurance for nonprofits that can provide protection while you continue to do work that aligns with your company’s mission. General liability insurance designed for nonprofits offers all the benefits you need to secure your organization’s future.

General liability insurance, also known as commercial general liability insurance (CGL) or slip, trip, and fall insurance is a broad type of insurance that covers employees, property, as well as third-party costs.

Lamb’s general liability insurance for nonprofits covers claims arising from injuries or damage that your organization caused. These can be:

  • Damage to someone’s property
  • Bodily injury
  • Personal injuries, such as libel and slander
  • Advertising injury
  • Employee negligence
  • Copyright infringement

The claims listed above are more common than you think – and, as they say, accidents happen, so it’s not a rarity when these issues come up during normal business operations.

In the case of a lawsuit, your nonprofit general liability insurance should cover the following costs:

  • Bodily injury: If someone is injured on your nonprofit’s property or as a result of your nonprofit’s activities, the insurance can cover the cost of medical expenses, lost wages, and other related expenses.
  • Property damage: If your nonprofit causes damage to someone else’s property, the insurance can cover the cost of repairs or replacement.
  • Personal and advertising injury: If your nonprofit is accused of defamation, libel, slander, copyright infringement, or other similar offenses, the insurance can cover the cost of legal defense and any settlements or judgments.
  • Products and completed operations: If your nonprofit sells products or services, the insurance can cover the cost of any damages or injuries that occur as a result of those products or services.
    Non-owned auto liability: If your nonprofit’s employees or volunteers use their personal vehicles for nonprofit activities and cause an accident, the insurance can cover the cost of damages or injuries.

General liability insurance for nonprofits is beneficial as a layer of protection against potential risks when working with the public or with property belonging to third parties.

Expenses add up, and costs will only continue rising if a case takes too long to resolve. Even if a lawsuit is dropped, you’ll still face legal costs and attorney fees. That’s why commercial general liability insurance is important because, without it, your organization and its mission are at financial risk.
