Claims general liability is built for
- Advertising injury. An ad or website uses someone else's photo or makes a claim about a competitor.
- Water damage. A fitting or fixture you installed or repaired leaks and soaks floors, cabinets and ceilings below.
- Leaks that show up later. A slow leak behind a wall is found months after the job; completed-operations coverage responds to the resulting damage.
- Damage while you work. Opening a wall or floor to reach a line damages tile, finishes or a neighbor's unit.
Water damage is the big one. Most plumbing claims are about water damage to someone else's property. Make sure the policy's completed-operations coverage fits the work you do, and keep job records.
