Commercial General Liability, where every program starts.

Commercial General Liability should be reviewed against real exposure, not assumed from the coverage label.

It covers third-party bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury claims that arise from your operations, products, or premises. Without it, a single claim can threaten the assets your business took years to build.

The real issue is not whether the coverage exists; it is whether the limits, exclusions, eligibility rules, definitions, contracts, people, property, timing, and carrier requirements match how the risk actually shows up. When those details are not reviewed before renewal or enrollment, a policy can look complete on paper while the most important conditions remain unclear until someone tries to use it.

What General Liability Covers

General liability is required by most commercial leases and client contracts, and for good reason. It is the broadest, most foundational layer of business liability protection available.
