    Employment Practices Liability Plus insurance

    Since general liability insurance doesn’t cover the types of injuries and damages typically alleged in employment-related claims, small business owners can benefit from this insurance to help cover expenses for these types of claims brought by employees, independent contractors, or volunteers.
