Every business faces a unique mix of risk. Customer injuries, property damage, completed work exposure, and contractual requirements can all create serious liability.

At TrueSpan Group, we help business owners structure general liability coverage that matches how their operations actually function—so there are fewer surprises when a claim happens.

Many businesses—especially those under $100K in premium—are often underserved by larger firms. We focus on providing responsive service, practical guidance, and coverage that actually fits your business.

What General Liability Insurance Covers

General liability insurance protects your business from some of the most common and costly claims. Here are the key coverages included in a typical policy.

Bodily Injury

Covers injuries to third parties caused by your business operations, whether at your location or on a jobsite.

Property Damage

Protects against damage to someone else’s property caused by your work, employees, or operations.

Completed Operations

Crucial for contractors and service businesses. We ensure your policy covers the 'tail' of your work, protecting you from claims that arise months after the job is finished.

Products Liability

Applies if a product you sell, install, or distribute causes injury or damage.

Personal & Advertising Injury

Covers claims like libel, slander, copyright issues, and certain advertising-related exposures.

Legal Defense Costs

We prioritize policies that offer Defense Outside the Limits. This means your legal fees don't eat away at your $1M protection, ensuring you have the full policy amount available for settlements.

General liability is often paired with workers compensation, commercial auto, and umbrella policies to fully protect your business.

Questions

Find answers to what matters most about your coverage.

What does general liability insurance cover?

General liability insurance covers third-party bodily injury, property damage, and completed operations claims. It helps protect your business if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your operations.

Is general liability insurance required in Kansas City?

It’s not always legally required by the state, but many landlords, clients, and contracts require businesses to carry general liability insurance before starting work or moving into a space.

Does general liability cover employee injuries?

No. Employee injuries are covered under workers' compensation insurance, not general liability.

What is completed operations coverage?

Completed operations covers claims that happen after your work is finished. For example, if a project you completed months ago causes damage now, this coverage helps protect your business from the resulting lawsuit.

Does General Liability cover subcontractors?

Not always. If subcontractors are uninsured or your policy isn't properly structured, you could be held responsible for their work. It’s important to review how your specific policy handles subcontractor exposure.

Does general liability cover faulty workmanship?

Standard GL policies generally exclude the cost to repair your own faulty work, but they should cover the resulting damage caused by that work. Because I’ve trained adjusters on these specific coverage triggers, I can help you structure your policy to maximize protection and avoid the most common "workmanship" denials.

How much general liability coverage do I need?

Coverage depends on your business type, contracts, and risk exposure. Many businesses carry $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate, but higher limits or an umbrella may be needed for specific industries.

How much does general liability insurance cost?

The cost depends on your industry, revenue, payroll, and claims history. We help structure policies that balance cost with proper protection. We also look for ways to lower your costs by ensuring your payroll and revenue classifications are accurate—avoiding expensive "audit surprises" at the end of the year.
