No. It will typically only cover a limited number of liabilities, such as general commercial liability and auto insurance liability. It will not usually extend product and professional liability coverage. However, each insurer offers slightly different terms and options, so it’s always best to check what is and what is not covered with an insurance agent first.
Always check your local state laws for direct clarification on the type and level of commercial liability coverage your business needs to by to comply with local laws. In many states, buying workers compensation and auto insurance is mandated, and if you lease a property, your landlord might have a clause in your lease that requires you to buy liability coverage. Aside from this, there are specific companies and contracts that will insist you have a minimum level of liability coverage in place before they will do business with you.
As with all insurance, you can quickly save money on the cost of coverage when you purchase more than one policy from a single insurer. You can also bundle together different commercial coverage into a single policy and save money in the process. For specific sectors, there are courses and preventative measures that can be accounted for in exchange for a small discount. Talk with an insurance expert to get direct answers to any industry-specific needs.

As you consider the best ways to safeguard your assets, there are three core types of commercial liability insurance you can buy.
General Commercial Liability
Also known as CGL, there are several layers and levels to choose from. Some CGL policies will include business premises cover, and others won’t. However, the core purpose of a general commercial liability policy is to protect you from third-party claims for bodily injury, advertising injury, or property damage.
Excess liability is often presented in tandem to a CGL policy, and it’s designed to cover claims that go beyond the limits of your underlying liability* policy.
*Most insurers will not offer coverage for professional liability as part any excess liability offering. So, if you are in a particularly high-risk occupation, then you might need to purchase a higher than standard amount of professional liability coverage.
Professional Liability
Also known as E&O (Errors and Omissions) or PII (Professional Indemnity Insurance), this provides coverage against claims of wrong-doing or professional negligence. So, if your business offers consultancy services, guidance or advice, then you will need to buy professional liability coverage.
Even when there is no fault of the business or its team members, you still need to mount a legal defense, which is both time-consuming and costly.
Note: Even with a comprehensive general commercial liability policy in place, professional liability insurance must be bought as a standalone policy.
Product Liability
Contrary to popular belief, product liability insurance needs to be purchased by those who sell, repair, refurbish, and distribute goods, as well as those who make or manufacture the product. If an end-user decides to pursue a claim and they are unsuccessful or unable to do so with the manufacturer, (they might be unknown, out of business, or unobtainable); then they are legally able to pursue the company or individual who sold or distributed the product.
With all commercial insurance, you can adapt the levels of coverage to suit your unique business needs. Our team can help you determine the optimum levels of coverage for your industry and company needs.
