What type of business activities does commercial general liability insurance typically cover?

Commercial general liability insurance is designed to provide coverage for a wide range of liabilities that a business might face. One of the primary aspects of this insurance is to protect against bodily injury and property damage claims that arise from incidents occurring on the business premises, as well as claims that may arise out of the general conduct of the business.

This includes injuries to customers or clients who visit the business location, as well as damage to someone's property that might occur as a result of business operations. For example, if a customer slips and falls inside a store or if a display falls and damages a customer's personal property, the commercial general liability insurance would cover the claims resulting from these incidents.

Other options provided do not align with the coverage scope of commercial general liability insurance. For instance, accidents caused specifically by employees could involve workers’ compensation claims rather than public liability. Product recalls would typically fall under product liability insurance, which is a different form of coverage that deals specifically with issues arising from defective products. Similarly, vehicle accidents, particularly those related to delivery services, are generally covered under commercial auto insurance rather than general liability insurance. Therefore, injuries and damage claims occurring on the business premises accurately describes the coverage provided by commercial general liability insurance.
