Premises liability coverage typically provides protection for injuries to whom?

• A. Customers on the insured's premises
• B. The insured's employees
• C. The insured
• D. Professional clients

Answer: (A)

Premises liability coverage protects people who are on the insured’s property because of the insured’s negligence or unsafe conditions. The typical injured party is a customer or other visitor on the business premises. This coverage is designed to respond when someone suffers bodily injury while on-site due to hazards the insured should have addressed, such as a slip-and-fall from a wet floor. It does not cover injuries to the insured’s employees (that’s workers’ compensation or employer’s liability) and it generally does not cover the insured’s own injuries. Professional clients who are on the premises could fall under the same visitor category, but the everyday, most straightforward example is a customer on the insured’s premises.
