What is Casualty Insurance?

  • Who is Casualty Insurance For? While our team generally places casualty insurance under the umbrella of commercial insurance in general, this type of coverage can be used by private individuals as well as businesses or employers. Of course, you may decide you don’t need casualty insurance to protect just yourself as a person, and our team is happy to offer advice about whether this coverage is a wise choice for your particular situation.
  • What Does Casualty Insurance Cover? Casualty insurance is a broad category that includes multiple types of coverage, including vehicle insurance, theft insurance, and liability insurance. This last type of coverage is perhaps the most important for business owners, as it protects the holder in the event that they become legally liable for injuries or property damage–in other words, should someone get hurt and sue you for it, your liability insurance policy will pay for the damages. This aspect of casualty insurance covers things like workers’ compensation, which makes it an essential protection for any business.
