The carrier reviews the circumstances and policy terms to\u00a0determine\u00a0whether the matter falls within coverage. If covered, the policy may\u00a0assist\u00a0with defense costs,\u00a0settlements\u00a0or judgments, up to the stated limits.<\/p>\n<p>The following are common coverages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bodily injury coverage may respond if a customer or visitor alleges injury connected to your operations.<\/li>\n<li>Property damage coverage may apply if your business activities cause damage to another party\u2019s property.<\/li>\n<li>Personal and advertising injury coverage may address certain claims involving allegations such as libel or advertising-related issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Coverage availability depends on\u00a0policy\u00a0language,\u00a0exclusions\u00a0and endorsements.<\/p>\n<h2>What Influences Policy Structure and Limits<\/h2>\n<p>Policy structure and limits often reflect the size and nature of a business. Customer traffic, off-site work, contractual\u00a0requirements\u00a0and revenue scale may all influence coverage decisions.
