Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance in the United States is a foundational type of business insurance that protects companies from a wide range of common liability risks. It’s often the first and most essential policy businesses purchase—especially those involved in construction, retail, services, or property ownership.
🔍 What It Covers:
A CGL policy typically includes protection against three major areas:
1. Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability
Example: A customer slips and falls on your property, or your employee accidentally damages a client’s building during a job.
CGL covers medical expenses, legal defense, and settlement costs.
2. Personal and Advertising Injury
Covers claims like libel, slander, copyright infringement, or false advertising.
Example: A competitor sues you for defamation based on a marketing campaign.
3. Medical Payments
Pays for minor medical expenses for non-employees injured on-site—regardless of fault—to potentially avoid lawsuits.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance (often shortened to Workers’ Comp) in the U.S. is a legally required type of business insurance that provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees who are injured or become ill due to job-related activities.
🔧 What It Covers:
✅ Medical Expenses
Doctor visits, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, prescriptions.
Example: An employee cuts their hand on the job and needs stitches—Workers’ Comp pays the bill.
✅ Lost Wages
Partial wage replacement while the employee is unable to work.
Usually a percentage of their average weekly wage (e.g., 66.67%).
✅ Disability Benefits
Covers temporary or permanent disability—whether partial or total.
Example: A back injury results in permanent limitations.
✅ Death Benefits
Pays out to dependents or family if a worker dies on the job.
Covers funeral expenses and survivor benefits.
✅ Legal Protection
If an employee sues, Workers’ Comp often limits employer liability, as the employee generally waives the right to sue in exchange for benefits.
