This insurance protects companies from bodily injury, property damage, and personal or advertising injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does Commercial General Liability Cover?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CGL insurance covers many claims against your business, including bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and advertising injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if a customer slips and falls in your store, your CGL insurance will cover their medical expenses. Similarly, if your business damages a customer&#8217;s property, CGL insurance will cover repair or replacement costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial Property vs. General Liability Insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While commercial property and general liability insurance are essential for a business, they cover different things. Commercial property insurance protects business-owned properties, including buildings, equipment, and inventory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, general liability insurance protects you from financial losses caused by claims of injury or damage caused by your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1644\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/business-damage-coverage.jpg\" alt=\"business damage coverage\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/business-damage-coverage.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/business-damage-coverage-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/business-damage-coverage-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Needs Commercial General Liability?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any business that deals with the public needs commercial general liability insurance.
