What is Commercial General Liability (CGL)?
In today's litigious business environment, a simple accident on your premises or a flaw in your operations can lead to devastating lawsuits. Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance is the primary line of defense against claims of bodily injury or property damage brought by third parties.
This comprehensive policy acts as a financial shield, covering massive settlement payouts as well as the exorbitant legal defense costs required to protect your business reputation.
