For contractors, this coverage may provide financial aid in response to the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Bodily injury<\/b>\u2014If\u00a0a third party, such as a client or visitor, is injured on your job site, general liability insurance can help cover medical expenses and legal fees.<\/li>\n<li><b>Property damage<\/b>\u2014If your work accidentally damages someone else\u2019s property, such as that of a neighboring lot, your policy may help pay for repairs or rebuild costs.<\/li>\n<li><b>Lawsuits<\/b>\u2014If\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0sued over a covered incident, general liability insurance can help with attorney fees,\u00a0settlements\u00a0or court judgments.<\/li>\n<li><b>Reputational harm<\/b>\u2014If your business is accused of slander, libel or other\u00a0personal injuries involving its marketing or communications, your policy may limit out-of-pocket losses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Is\u00a0It Important\u00a0for Florida Contractors?<\/h2>\n<p>Florida\u2019s\u00a0construction industry is busy and highly regulated.\u00a0As such, many contractors are legally required to carry general liability insurance.
