Is Janitorial Liability Required?

Requirements for janitorial liability insurance depend on your location.

States like California, Florida, and Texas might not strictly require it, but local governments or contracts usually do.

Even without a legal mandate, skipping insurance can be a bad move—one slip-and-fall could seriously hurt your wallet. So, maybe it's not always legally required, but you'll probably need it anyway if you plan on doing business smoothly and securely.
