GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR FIRE DEPARTMENTS & EMERGENCY SERVICES

 

General liability insurance protects your emergency organization when a person is injured or a person's property is damaged as a result of an occurrence that's not automobile-related. This insurance covers Good Samaritan liability as well as medical malpractice liability. You also have protection when claims are made against you because of offenses such as slander or wrongful eviction.
