Why it matters
A single liability lawsuit can cost more in legal defense alone than years of premiums. Many landlords and clients won't sign a contract without proof of general liability coverage. In Miami's competitive commercial leasing market, landlords routinely require a certificate of insurance naming them as an additional insured before handing over keys, so having coverage in place can directly affect how quickly you can open your doors.
