Why You Need Commercial General Liability Insurance?
General Liability policies are the most common business liability policies purchase. As the name implies, these policies cover "general" liability. More specific types of liability such as automobile liability, aircraft liability, or professional liability are covered under specialized liability policies. Many vendors will require evidence of coverage before doing business with you.
General liability policies generally cover the tort legal liability of your firm for bodily injury to others and for damage to the property of others. The policy format is similar to an “all risk” property policy in that the policy covers what it does not exclude. In other words, the policy starts with a basic insuring agreement and then coverage can be added based on the specific business needs.

| Products/Completed Operations | Covers for liability for injury or damage caused by your products or by your completed work. |
| Personal Injury | Covers unintentional slander, libel, false arrest or wrongful entry. |
| Advertising Injury | Covers unintentional slander; libel; infringement of copyright, trademark or slogan arising from your company’s advertising, as long as you are not in the advertising business. |
| Independent Contractors | Covers your liability for bodily injury or property damage arising out of work done for you by an independent contractor. Coverage is not provided for the contractor, who should have its own insurance. |
