Comprehensive Analysis of Commercial General Liability Coverages
Commercial liability insurance encompasses a variety of coverage types that insure liability to third parties for specific types of injury for which the insured is legally responsible. Understanding the scope of coverage in each type of policy and knowing where modifications are needed, or when specialty niche products are needed, is crucial to ensuring all risks are adequately addressed.
IRMI analyzes these policies to explain coverage nuances, identify potential coverage gaps or limitations, and offer suggestions where appropriate for modifications.
