Commercial General Liability (CGL)

It has no deductible.
It can be written for just about any type of business except auto dealers and repair shops
CPP is a BI and PD coverage that will pay for your
Legal liability to others resulting from your failure to act reasonably (negligence)
The cost of hiring a lawyer is in addition to your policy limits.
CPP
Injury to your own employees is not covered since is this WC and remember WC
Can never be added to CPP
An occurrence form
Will cover any BI or PD that occurs during the policy period
Auto Liability and Homeowners Liability are written in this manner.
Claims Made form is much more restrictive
Professional liability policies are written on a claims made basis
They have a retroactive date, which defines when coverage begins
CGL is written on this basis
When renewing a policy written on a claims made basis, you should
Maintain the original retroactive coverage date
A retroactive date can be advanced only with the written consent of the named insured. The insurer must obtain written consent and acknowledgment that
The insured has been informed of the right to buy an ERP (extended reporting period)
ERP
Aka extended reporting period
It’s sometimes called a ‘tail of coverage’
An ERP does not
Extend a policy period
An ERP extends the
Period for reporting such claims.
The ERP are treated as if they had been made on the last day of the policy period. Once in effect, an ERP cannot be cancelled
ERP is the
Opposite of the retroactive date
Basic ERP
Is free and begins at the end of the policy period and provides an extra 60-day period for reporting any claims that occurred during the policy period.
Allows a claimant to report a claim up to five years after the policy period
Supplemental ERP
Extends the claim-reporting period indefinitely or provides a full tail of coverage
Claims Made CGL policy
A claim must be turned in during the policy period, or during
Any extended reporting period provided by the insurer
It is the date of the claim that triggers coverage on a CGL that pays claims on an occurrence basis, but on a claims made CGL,
It is the date that the claim was turned in.
