LIABILITY INSURANCE
When running any thriving business you face risks daily, from accidental injuries to professional missteps. Liability insurance is your shield, absorbing financial blows and legal exposure so your business can thrive uninterrupted.
Therefore, liability insurance safeguards you from these risks by covering costs associated with injury, property damage, and legal expenses, allowing you to operate with peace of mind.
Unlike other types of insurance, liability insurance policies pay third parties, and not policyholders
At Burst Insurance Agency, we don’t just sell insurance, we help you build resilience.
