What is Comprehensive General Liability Insurance (CGL)?

It is a type of insurance policy that provides broad coverage for businesses against third-party liability claims. A CGL policy protects businesses from financial losses and legal expenses if they are held responsible for bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury caused to others due to their business operations, products, or services. It typically covers a wide range of liability risks, such as slip-and-fall accidents, product liability, advertising liability, and contractual liability. The CGL policy helps businesses mitigate the financial risks associated with potential lawsuits and claims, providing essential protection and peace of mind.

What is not covered in Commercial General Liability (CGL) policy?

Employee Injuries

Work-related injuries to employees are typically covered under workers' compensation insurance rather than a CGL policy.

Intentional Acts

Damages or injuries intentionally caused by the insured party or their employees are typically excluded from coverage.

Contractual Liability

Some contractual liabilities, such as indemnification clauses or specific liability assumptions, may not be covered unless specifically included in the policy.

Pollution Liability

Environmental pollution or contamination-related liabilities are often excluded from a standard CGL policy and require specialized pollution liability coverage.

Employee Discrimination or Harassment

Claims related to employee discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination are usually not covered under a CGL policy and may require separate employment practices liability insurance.

Product Recall

Costs associated with product recalls are typically excluded, and separate product recall insurance may be needed for such coverage.
