- Personal and Advertising Injury
General liability policies include coverages for personal and advertising injury that occurs during the promotion of business goods and services.

Medical costs associated with non-employee injuries are covered by general liability policies. This applies primarily to no-fault scenarios. Smaller incidents and claims can be settled quickly without litigation under these coverages.
Business Owners Policy (BOP)
Business Owners Policies (BOPs) offer umbrella commercial protection by combining most major property and liability risks in one package. Hiscox BOPs are optimized for small and medium-sized businesses. Most policies include:

Income lost as a result of a catastrophic event is covered with business interruption insurance. Costs incurred from operating out of a temporary location are also often covered.
