Commercial General Liability Insurance

Businesses today have a great deal of responsibility to make sure their employees, neighbors, passersby, and customers are safe from harm – at least from harm the business can prevent. With this responsibility, it is necessary for businesses of all sizes to protect themselves and their financial interests with commercial general liability insurance, or CGL.

Otterstedt Insurance Agency offers CGL coverage that’s designed for today’s business world. We understand the needs of New Jersey businesses thanks to nearly 100 years of serving their insurance needs. We’ll work with you, by giving you an understanding of your specific risks, and how to protect against them.  More importantly, we’ll help make sure you get the coverage you need at a cost you can afford.

What is Commercial General Liability Insurance?

Commercial general liability coverage assists businesses in defending themselves against third party claims that their premises, operations, products, or advertising have caused bodily injury, personal injury, or property damage.

CGL coverage is often incorporated into the standard Business Owner’s policy (BOP), along with business property insurance & business income insurance, though you should discuss the specifics of your BOP with your Otterstedt Insurance agent.

CGL coverage is also available as part of a Commercial Package policy, which can also include coverage for Buildings, Business Personal Property, Business Income, as well as other necessary coverage.

Standalone CGL coverage is available for most businesses that for whatever reason are not eligible for a BOP.

Sometimes additional coverage in the form of Excess, or Umbrella liability is needed and we can provide you with some creative options for this type of insurance as well.

Why Does Your Business Need Commercial General Liability Coverage?

Lawsuits are expensive. Regardless of the outcome of the lawsuit, lawsuits take a great deal of time to sort out in court, expensive time with the cost of hiring a lawyer. Then there is the settlement itself. If a judgment is awarded against you, the numbers can be high – depending on the situation. Without appropriate general liability coverage, the burden of paying these costs will ultimately fall on your business, and, perhaps, to you, personally.

CGL insurance helps to mitigate some, or all of the costs associated with the lawsuit. From the court costs to the settlement or judgment awards. The insurance will cover the costs up to the limits of the plan, less any deductibles outlined in your policy or policies.
