General Liability Insurance in Texas

General liability insurance covers your business when a third party claims bodily injury, property damage, or personal and advertising injury arising from your operations, products, or premises, and it can pay covered damages plus related legal defense costs. It does not cover injuries to your own employees, damage to property you own or rent as a first-party loss, professional mistakes in advice or services you sell, auto accidents, or intentional wrongdoing.

In Texas that exposure is concrete: a customer slips in your store, a visitor is hurt at a job site, a product you sold damages a client’s property, or someone alleges libel or copyright harm in your marketing. Those third-party claims are exactly what this coverage is built to address.

Steve White Insurance Group works with Texas business owners to define how general liability fits beside other policies so you are not relying on one form for risks it is not designed to handle.

Your liability limits set the most the policy will pay for covered bodily injury or property damage. Many Texas contracts with landlords, general contractors, and municipalities call for at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate; choosing lower limits may leave you short of those requirements, while higher limits can raise the premium in exchange for more room if a claim is large.

A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before coverage applies on a claim. A higher deductible may reduce what you pay for the policy, but it also means more of the early cost sits with you if a customer is injured on your premises or your work damages someone else’s property.

Common add-ons include additional insured endorsements, waiver of subrogation, and products-completed operations coverage. In Texas, commercial leases and vendor agreements often require these specifically, so skipping them can block you from signing the deal even when the base policy looks adequate.

Steve White Insurance Group can compare limit, deductible, and endorsement options across carriers such as Travelers, The Hartford, Progressive, Nationwide, and Chubb so the structure matches your risk and contract language rather than a one-size package. Eligibility and pricing depend on your business type, location, and claims history.

Steve White Insurance Group is an independent agency, not a single-company insurer. We shop general liability coverage across 13 carriers—AIG, Allstate, AmTrust North America, Centauri, Chubb, Encompass, Germania, National General, Nationwide, Progressive, The Hartford, Travelers, and Universal North America—so you can compare limits, deductibles, and terms side by side instead of locking into one carrier’s menu.

With 20 years in business serving Texas, we work for you, not the insurer. When you file a claim, you still have one local contact who knows your policy and can help you navigate the process with the carrier that wrote it. Eligibility, pricing, and claim outcomes depend on your business, your policy, and the carrier, so we walk those details with you before you buy.
