Possible Defenses to General Liability Claims
Just as there are many general liability claims that may arise, there are also numerous possible defenses to these claims, including affirmative defenses.

Some examples of possible defenses, including affirmative defenses, to general liability claims include but are not limited to:
- Lack of coverage
- Statute of limitations
- Comparative negligence
- Assumption of risk
- Violation of safety standards or laws
- Refusal to use safety gear or equipment

- Refusal of suitable employment
