What is CGL?

What does General Liability cover?

CGL helps protect your business from third‑party bodily injury, property damage, and personal & advertising injury claims arising from your operations, services, or completed work—subject to policy terms and exclusions.

What endorsements do customers typically require?

Common requests include Additional Insured, Primary & Non‑Contributory, and Waiver of Subrogation endorsements to align the policy with contract risk‑transfer terms.

Do contractors in California legally need GL?

GL is widely required by contracts; LLC contractor licenses must carry GL with specified limits under CSLB rules. Other entity types may not be legally required but are often contractually required.
