Insurance Coverage

Commercial general liability (CGL) insurance typically does not cover the cost of repairing pavement to prevent a lawsuit. However, if a lawsuit occurs, the policy may cover legal defense and settlement costs. Property insurance may cover damage caused by a covered peril (e.g., vehicle collision), but routine maintenance is not covered. Some insurers offer "premises liability" enhancements.

Compliance Requirements

ADA compliance • Local maintenance codes • Premises liability laws. Responsibility lies with the property owner.

Why Fenrir Matters

We help you build and maintain documented proof of proactive care. When a slip-and-fall claim comes in, you have a paper trail showing you've been maintaining the property. That documentation can be the difference between a dismissed claim and a costly settlement.
