General Liability Insurance Insight  |  Also Known As ‘Comprehensive’ General Liability

Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL) protects against liability claims for bodily injury and property damage related to your premises, operations, products, completed operations as well as advertising and personal injury liability. A few examples:

• A customer slips in your retail store and breaks their hip.
• A contractor accidentally damages the building next to the one they are working on.
• A plumber installs a new toilet that leaks and damages the contents of the room below.

Why Is Commercial General Liability So Important?
In all provinces except Quebec, common law establishes that business owners owe a duty of care to the public. Unfortunately, accidents happen and injured people or parties may allege that:

• A duty of care was owed
• That duty of care was breached
• Damages and/or injuries were incurred

If one or more of these situations apply, people, parties and/or their lawyers may allege that a business was negligent and is responsible for compensating them for their damages.

[Did you know?] A personal injury lawyer often works on a contingent basis and the injured party pays nothing up front. If the injured party receives an award or settlement from the organization alleged to be at fault, the personal injury lawyer receives payment.

General Liability Insurance – Typical Coverages
