Coverage context

What this coverage question means.

Commercial general liability commonly addresses third-party bodily injury, property damage, and personal and advertising injury, subject to the actual policy terms, exclusions, and endorsements. Retail agents often seek wholesale review when the class, operations, loss history, subcontracting, height, completed operations, or requested terms fall outside admitted appetite.

Class context. Management, marketing, HR, strategy consultants. Misc E&O up to $5M.

Terms depend on the policy and account
