Fish Store Insurance

General Liability Insurance (GL)

You need a General Liability policy guarding your Fish Store against any lawsuit regarding an accident that occurred in your business premises that led to injury or personal property damage. For example, if there’s a water spillage on the floor after one of your employees changes the water in a fish tank, and one of your regular customers enters the store, slips, and falls suffering injuries from it. The General Liability insurance will cover all legal expenses resulting from the claim and provide you with an attorney. Below are the standard coverages for General Liability.

Business Property Insurance

This policy offers coverage for everything that would fall out if you shook the building upside down. In the case of a Fish Store, this would include the tanks, decorations, inventory, tables, building attachments among others. Business Property Insurance covers the following perils.

• Theft.
• Vandalism.
• Fire.

Workers’ Compensation

If you have employees working at your Fish Store, you need to provide them with legal compensation in case they suffer an injury while doing the job.

The Worker’s Comp Coverage would cover the medical costs of these injuries and give you the peace of mind you need because you cannot be sued for this type of accident.
