GCL Policy - The CGL protects your company from claims of third-party bodily injury or property damage caused by your company. If a person walks into your office or onto a job site and slips and falls or is hit by falling debris caused by your workers in the course of your business your CGL policy would kick in.

Your CGL also provides protection for products and completed operations. Products and completed operations cover damage caused by work you do, the products your company sells, and installs, such as shingles or the construction of the system. However, products or property owned by others that are in your care, custody, and control of an insured is usually excluded under the standard ISO CGL policy form. This gap in coverage can be addressed by inland marine, builder’s risk, or bailees coverage.
