CGL Issues and Developments

General liability insurance is a key aspect of any contractor’s risk management program. The CGL policy provides coverage for the potentially devastating risks associated with contractual liability, construction defects, and a host of other types of losses. Despite the importance of this coverage, it presents some of the most complex and least understood coverage issues for most contractors and their insurance representatives. This session provides a high level technical review of four key coverage areas—allocation of defense and indemnity, additional insured issues, the impaired property exclusion (arguably the least understood aspect of CGL coverage), and coverage for construction defects—and brings participants up to speed on recent legal developments affecting them. Attendees will leave this session with a better understanding of their rights to defense and indemnity, what coverage they are giving (or getting) through additional insured endorsements, recent developments in the complex construction defect arena, and when coverage applies to impaired property claims.
