Workers’ Comp vs. General Liability: What’s the Difference?

Workers’ comp covers employees’ work injuries; general liability covers many injury or property-damage claims by other people.

A visitor’s injury and an employee’s injury therefore involve different policies.

Do not use general liability instead of required workers’ compensation. Confirm both policies list the right operations, states, employees, and payroll, and check their limits and exclusions.
