What is general liability insurance?
General liability insurance (GL), also called commercial general liability insurance (CGL) is a preferred method for contractual risk transfer. This means that an insurance contract can be easily used to protect the assets of a business or individual when it is sued for something it did (or did not do) to cause an injury or property damage.
General liability insurance is regularly utilized to protect owners/operators for construction contracts, leases, purchase orders, rental agreements, production contracts, and many other contractual agreements.
Do I really need general liability insurance?
We live in a very litigious society. In today’s world even a small accident or error can quickly turn into a very large lawsuit. To prevent catastrophic financial burden, businesses and executives need the protection of:
- General liability insurance
- Property and casualty insurance
- Workers’ compensation insurance
- Umbrella liability insurance
- Inland Marine insurance
Typically, basic liability insurance is bundled with property and casualty insurance as part of a business-owner’s policy (BOP). However, when bundled, the liability insurance is often low and may not provide adequate protection depending on what type of business you operate and where your business is located.
