What is Commercial General Liability? 

What happens when someone is shopping at the supermarket and a display of soda cans collapses on them?.  

In a case like this, commercial general liability provides coverage to the grocery store for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. 

1. Does commercial general liability cover everything surrounding my business?

Although it is considered “comprehensive,” not all risks are covered. This insurance helps protect your business from claims of bodily injury, property damage, advertising mistakes, copyright infringement and reputational harm.

2.Is it required?

No. It’s not a legal requirement. It is essential for business, especially if you are just starting and an unfortunate lawsuit could put you out of business.

“Did you know? A company could need to name other companies or persons as “additional insured” under their commercial liability insurance policy. This usually happens when a contract is established. “

3. How is commercial liability calculated?

Rating figures are calculated by multiplying the revenue of your company by the average loss rate of similar companies. 

4. What is not covered by general liability insurance?  

  • Employee injury or illness 
  • Damage to your own business property 
  • Errors in professional services 
  • Claims that cost more than your policy limit  

5. If my business is managed from my home, does home insurance cover me? 

The short answer is no. Home insurance will only cover minimum liability. Instead, home-based business insurance can be added as an extension of home insurance.

Keep in mind 

It is important that you assess your liability coverage at least once a year. In the event of a lawsuit or having to pay for damages, you want to know that you are fully covered.
