General Liability Insurance for janitors

General liability insurance for janitors can empower janitorial professionals to take on new jobs, work with more clients, and hire additional staff to support the business.

General liability insurance, also known as commercial general liability (CGL), could protect your business from another person or business’s claims of bodily injury, associated medical costs, and damage to property. As you take your supplies and skills from one office, warehouse, or school to another, general liability insurance can step in to cover claims regarding injuries to people or property damage.

Janitorial professionals can benefit from having this type of insurance coverage in many instances. Here are a few hypothetical scenarios to demonstrate what we mean.

Bodily injury: You are waxing a floor and right afterwards someone slips and falls and breaks their wrist. The injured person sues you even though you placed warning signs up. In this situation, we would provide a defense for you in the lawsuit.

Even if you don’t believe that a customer’s injuries were your fault, your business could still be put at risk because of a situation like this. With Hiscox insurance for janitors and floor waxing, your policy may cover the subsequent claim and related medical expenses up to your limits of liability.

Damage to another's property: One of the employees you have hired to help expand your janitorial business accidentally bumps into a table in a customer’s home and knocks over a lamp. The lamp breaks and, since the incident occurred during a scheduled cleaning service, the customer sues your business for the cost of replacing the lamp.

Hiscox’s insurance for janitors not only covers incidents of property damage, but also covers the services provided by your employees. Feel more confident with every new employee you hire by requesting an insurance quote for janitorial services today.

Personal injury: One of your employees is at lunch. He talks to the owner of the restaurant about one of your clients in a false and unflattering way. The client learns of this discussion and sues you for slander.

Hiscox janitor insurance may even cover claims of slander and other forms of personal injury. In situations like this, we may cover the claim filed against you, up to your limits of liability, and also pay for an attorney to defend you if necessary.
