Commercial General Liability Insurance Policy (CGL) protects your organization and your business against any liability arising due to bodily injury, property damage or any personal injury caused to a third-party. This essentially means that if your company, product, work, or anything which is associated with your business causes injury to a client (any person) or their property, you could be legally held responsible for it. In such a scenario you may also be required to pay a hefty compensation and this is the time where CGL can come to your rescue.
Commercial general liability policy covers defense cost and the compensation awarded by court for above legal liabilities. Defense cost will include the cost of lawyer fees incurred to defend the company against legal suits.
There are two types of CGL policies:
One example of CGL plan can be as follows.
M.R Textiles Ltd. has got a large international order worth INR 50 Crores. The foreign company insists on sending Mr. Jack, a senior employee, to the manufacturing unit of M.R. Textiles Ltd. for a thorough scrutiny of the stocks. Mr. Jack, while moving around the manufacturing units, trips and falls hurting his back.
Now the client sues M.R. Textiles Ltd. arguing that they should have taken care of the work premises. Luckily, M.R. Textiles had a CGL policy bought which covered the compensation as well as the legal costs involved.
