Looking for General Liability Insurance in Lake Orion?
Are you a business owner looking for general liability (GL) insurance? Our agency has you covered! It only takes one claim to financially cripple your business or close it down permanently, so it’s important that you have adequate GL coverage from a highly rated carrier and when you need it. Our Commercial Dept. has dozens of partners for GL insurance.
At its core, GL insurance is the most basic form of commercial liability coverage for your business. General liability guards you, your business and your assets from claims involving bodily injury or property damage born out of your business operations. These policies cover the expense of out-of-court settlements, litigation and judgments awarded by courts (up to the policy limit). Often times GL is paired with additional coverages usually through a Business Owner policy (BOP) or a Commercial Package policy (CPP or PKG). Often times, they include business personal property (BPP) along with a variety of additional coverages that allow you to feel the freedom of protection so you can focus on your business on not on the ‘what if’s’. If you own a business, having GL coverage is beneficial for you, your company, your clients as it provides protection in the event of a lawsuit that you would otherwise have to pay out of pocket.
At J. Jacobs & Associates, we represent a wide range of companies that offer GL in Michigan and can help pair your business type with the best possible provider and pricing.

As an independent agency, with dozens of carriers, and like any type of insurance, there are certain underwriting and eligibility guidelines that we must know in order to determine which insurance company is a great fit for you.
