Protect Your Business from Everyday Liability Risks

No matter the size of your business, accidents can happen when you least expect them. A customer slips on your premises, a contractor accidentally damages a client's property, or your business becomes the target of a lawsuit alleging bodily injury or property damage.

Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL) helps protect your business against the financial consequences of these common risks. From legal defence costs to settlements and judgments, a properly structured CGL policy can help safeguard your business assets and reputation while allowing you to focus on growth.

At Insurance Genie, we help Canadian businesses find affordable Commercial General Liability Insurance tailored to their industry, operations, and risk exposure.

Learn more about CGL Insurance

CGL provides coverage for bodily injury or property damage caused by products you sell, services you offer or locations from which you operate. The insurance coverage provided within a CGL policy includes Employers Liability, Employee Benefits Liability, Tenant's Legal Liability, Products Liability, Personal Injury, Advertising Injury, Completed Operations, and Non-owned Automobile.

We suggest you have at least $2M as your liability limit
Learn more about what's included:
  • Employers Liability: Most employees are covered by worker's compensation but some employees do not qualify. Thus, the employers' liability provides bodily injury if an employee gets hurt at work—specifically, office employees who are not covered by worker's compensation.

  • Employee Benefits Liability: Provides employers who make an error or omission in administering their employee benefits program.

  • Tenant's Legal Liability: Included within most commercial general liability policies; and provides coverage for damage to a premise that you rent or control in which a covered peril damages the rented space within your care, custody and control. The policy does not cover the property you own within the rented space, only the damage caused to the landlord's property.
  • Products Liability: This is included within most commercial general liability policies and provides coverage for any bodily injury or property damage caused by the products you sell.
  • Personal/Advertising Injury: Encompasses a range of non-physical injuries that stem from specific actions. These actions include, but are not limited to, false arrest, detention or imprisonment, malicious prosecution, wrongful eviction or entry, defamation through oral or written publications, and infringement of an individual's right to privacy. These injuries may arise from various scenarios, such as being falsely accused, wrongfully evicted or having one's reputation tarnished through defamatory statements.
  • Completed Operations: Refer to injuries that are not physical and occur after a specific action or event has been completed. These actions include, but are not limited to, false arrest, detention or imprisonment, malicious prosecution, wrongful eviction or entry, defamation through oral or written publications, and infringement of an individual's right to privacy. These injuries may occur as a result of a completed service or project and can have long-lasting effects on the individual or organization involved. It's important to note that these injuries differ from Bodily injuries, which are physical injuries caused by an accident or incident.
  • Non-owned automobile: This coverage offers protection against liability when an employee uses their personal vehicle for business purposes. It is meant to cover situations where a business-related accident occurs while an employee is driving their car, not the company-owned one. This coverage is intended to fill the gap when the employee's personal auto policy needs to provide adequate protection. It's important to note that this coverage applies only when the vehicle is not owned, registered or contracted by the named business or on its behalf.
