General Liability Insurance

Essential protection against third‑party claims for bodily injury, property damage, and personal & advertising injury.

What is General Liability (GL) for?

GL protects your business when a third party (customer, visitor, landlord, etc.) alleges damage caused by your day‑to‑day operations. It’s often required to sign a lease, access job sites, or work with enterprise clients.

What GL covers

  • Third‑party bodily injury (e.g., a customer slips and falls at your premises)
  • Third‑party property damage
  • Personal and advertising injury (libel, slander, unauthorized use of slogan/visual)
  • Defense costs and settlements/judgments, up to your policy limits

What GL does not cover

  • Your own property (buildings, equipment, inventory) → see Commercial Property
  • Employee injuries → see Workers’ Compensation
  • Professional mistakes (advice, design, code) → see E&O/Professional Liability
  • Commercial auto accidents → see Commercial Auto

Who needs it?

  • Construction, maintenance, on‑site services
  • Retail, restaurants, any public‑facing locations
  • Logistics, warehousing, installation
  • Startups and professional services with contractual requirements

Cost factors (at a glance)

  • Industry and exposure (work at heights, products handled)
  • Size (revenue, headcount, geographies)
  • Loss history and required limits in contracts
  • Deductible choice, additional options (products, completed ops)

Quick tip

If contracts require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) with specific limits, confirm them before binding to avoid endorsements and extra costs.
