What is the Full Form of CGL in Insurance?

The CGL Full Form in Insurance is Commercial General Liability. It is a special kind of insurance that helps businesses when they are in a pinch because injuries, damages, or accidents happen because of their work or at their place.

Summary of CGL Coverage:

This is a commercial general liability insurance that covers you in several cases: if someone falls at your workplace, or there is a problem with something you sold or did for someone elsewhere, CGL is there to help cover the costs. It even helps pay for legal stuff if you need to defend your business in court over these accidents or damages.

Types of CGL Policies:

At that point, businesses really have two main options when it comes time to choose this kind of insurance. One is what they term a “claims-made” policy, meaning that it does not matter when the accident actually occurred; if somebody is claiming it now, then you’re covered. The other one is the “occurrence” policy that covers one for any mishaps that happen while he/she is being insured, although a claim may be much later, even after his policy is long ended.

Specialized Policies and Coverage:

There are more specifically tailored policies for those extra-specific risks, aside from CGL. Say a person is worried about getting sued because of things that might have gone on in the workplace, such as sexual harassment, or maybe firing someone unfairly, there’s insurance for that. Got concerns about financial reporting errors? It also covers the “oops” moments too.
