Running a business comes with many responsibilities—and one of the most important is protecting it from unexpected legal and financial risks. At The William J O’Brien Insurance Agency in Canton, Massachusetts, we offer comprehensive commercial general liability (CGL) insurance to businesses across Norfolk County, and the greater Boston area from Springfield to Cape Cod, helping owners safeguard their operations and reputation.
What Is General Liability Insurance?
Commercial general liability insurance protects your business from claims involving bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and legal defense costs. Whether you operate a storefront, manage a team, or work on client sites, CGL coverage acts as a foundational layer of protection against the unexpected.
This type of policy is essential for:
-
Contractors and tradespeople
-
Retail stores and restaurants
-
Offices and professional services
-
Property managers and landlords
-
Any business that interacts with the public
What Does a CGL Policy Cover?
-
Third-party bodily injury (e.g., a customer slips and falls at your business)
-
Property damage caused by your operations or employees
-
Personal and advertising injury (e.g., libel, slander, or copyright infringement)
-
Legal fees and court costs associated with covered claims
-
Medical payments for injuries that occur on your premises
Why Your Business Needs General Liability Insurance
Even if your business takes every precaution, accidents and lawsuits can happen. Without proper coverage, a single claim could result in costly legal expenses or settlements that threaten your financial stability. Many landlords, vendors, and clients also require proof of general liability insurance before doing business with you.
