. General liability policies:

The cornerstone of a commercial insurance is the general liability policy. General liability coverage protects the policy’s named insured(s) against bodily injury and/or property damage suits up to the limits selected. Liability policies have several limits. The two most important are:

  • per occurrence limit

  • aggregate limit

The policy also provides several other limits of coverage, namely:

  • products-completed operations limit (equals the per occurrence limit)

  • personal and advertising injury limit (equals the per occurrence limit)

  • damages to premises rented to you limit (policies provide a $100,000 limit; $50,000 to $100,000 limit is the industry standard.)

  • medical expense limit $1,000 to $5,000 per person limit is the industry standard.)

The per occurrence limit is the maximum amount the policy is obligated to pay for any one covered occurrence. As noted above, the aggregate limit is the total amount the policy is obligated to pay in any one policy term, subject to the per occurrence limit. In other words, the policy will never pay more than the per occurrence limit for any one occurrence. A general liability policy could pay the per occurrence limit more than one time during the policy term.

The purchase of General Liability insurance should provide peace of mind for the insured by protecting earnings and assets against unexpected losses. General liability limits must be enough to protect against lawsuits. Property coverages limits should protect owned structures and equipments that must be replaced in case of losses.
