What is CGL Insurance
When Someone Gets Hurt, We Step In
Commercial General Liability covers third-party claims for bodily injury or property damage arising from your business operations or premises. It typically also covers personal and advertising injury (libel, slander), and legal defence costs—protecting cashflow from lawsuits and settlements.
Why Is This Policy Vital?
Because one accident can mean bankruptcy
Premises risk is real — slips, trips or falling signage can lead to medical and legal bills.
Vendor & contract clauses often demand CGL as a prerequisite for work or events.
Advertising or reputational claims (social media takedown or defamation) are rising — CGL’s advertising injury element helps.

Some policies offer worldwide coverage or defence costs worldwide — check territorial limits and exclusions.
Yes — some CGLs allow sudden/accidental pollution endorsements, but long-term contamination usually needs specialised cover.
