Damage to Property in Your Care, Custody, or Control: The Coverage Most GL Policies Exclude

A single polished steel industrial gearbox sitting on a maintenance stand inside a clean fabrication shop, encircled on the concrete floor by a bright safety-yellow painted boundary line under soft clerestory daylight, illustrating how the care, custody, or control exclusion on a general liability policy draws a visible line around property in the insured's possession.

The care, custody, or control exclusion on a CGL strips coverage for property you hold, install, repair, or move. Here is what fills the gap and why it matters.

General Liability vs Professional Liability: When You Need Both

An aerial view of two distinct rivers - one cool slate-blue and one warmer copper-tea - meeting at a confluence and joining into a single broader channel framed by mossy stone banks, illustrating how general liability and professional liability are two separate coverages that work together in a commercial program.

General liability and professional liability cover different claims, and the GL policy excludes professional services. Here is what each covers and when both belong.

A single luminous comet with a long graduated tail trailing across a deep-indigo starfield, illustrating the long-tail risk of products and completed operations claims that surface years after work is finished or a product is sold.

The Purpose of a Subcontractor Agreement: Risk Transfer Beyond the Certificate

A solitary warm-gold monolithic prism standing on a navy floor casting a long parallel shadow, illustrating the standalone, foundational role of a written subcontractor agreement in commercial risk transfer.

A subcontractor agreement is not paperwork. It is the document that decides which company absorbs the loss when a subcontractor causes one. Here is what it has to do.

Per-Occurrence vs Aggregate Limits: Why the Math Matters

A polished brass hourglass with pale sand cascading between two chambers on a dark slate surface, illustrating how general liability per-occurrence and aggregate limits stack and erode across a policy year.

General liability policies stack two limits - per-occurrence and aggregate. Here is what each one pays, how they interact, and why aggregates can exhaust quietly across the policy year.

How to Demand and Verify Certificates of Insurance from Subcontractors

Three interlocking navy steel chain links with the middle link highlighted in warm gold, illustrating the three endorsements that have to be present on a subcontractor's certificate of insurance: additional insured, waiver of subrogation, and primary and non-contributory.

A certificate of insurance is a snapshot, not a contract. Here is what to demand on it, how to verify it, and what to track between renewal and the loss that arrives later.

What General Liability Insurance Actually Covers and What It Doesn’t

A perspective view of three navy archways receding into warm gold light, illustrating the three coverage parts of a commercial general liability insurance policy.

A commercial general liability policy answers in three coverage parts and a list of named exclusions. Here is what gets paid, what does not, and how per-occurrence and aggregate limits change the math at claim time.
