Yes, but the problem will be finding a carrier who will write liability coverage a building with no property coverage on it. It would probably have to be an acceptable property risk for a casualty underwriter to consider writing just liability on it and there would have to be a good reason why you didn't want property coverage on it. Nobody wants to write liability insurance on a dump anymore than they want to write property coverage on it.

It depends if the builder's risk policy is just for property or for property and liability. You can have a builder's risk policy, which includes general liability.

Does Foreign Commercial General Liability include Foreign Business Auto Liability?

It can be, but it just depends on the extent of coverage you purchase. Commercial Auto is not automatically included with Commercial General Liability. If you purchase the Commercial Auto coverage along with the Commercial Liability then you will have the coverage. If you purchase only the commercial General Liability then you won't have coverage for commercial auto.


How is general liability insurance different from comprehensive general liability insurance?

Personal Liability insurance is purchased by individuals and is normally included as part of a residential insurance policy, such as a Homeowners, Condo or Tenants package. It provides the insured with protection against lawsuits from third parties arising from the ownership and/or occupancy of the residence, including the personal actions of insured persons (eg. a visitor to the residence slips and falls on the front walkway due to a build up of ice/snow). General Liability insurance is the common abbreviation used in the industry to refer to "Commercial General Liability" insurance. A Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance policy is purchased by a business and provides protection against claims by third parties for Bodiliy Injury and Property damage arising from the operations of the insured. Example: ABC Construction Inc. wins a contract to construct a new office building. During construction one of ABC's employees drops a hammer which hits a passing pedestrian on the head. The pedestrian sues ABC Construction for his/her injuries. ABC's general liability insurer will defend ABC in the lawsuit and pay any judgment which may be rendered against ABC (up to the policy limit). Hope this helps.

What does Additional insured mean with regard to general liability?

You are the insured. Your landlord or partner or banker may be the additional insured. They have a financial interest in or liability at stake with whatever it is you are insuring. It does not cost you more to name an additional insured. Why didn't you aks your agent this question? Can the person I was working for withold money owed to me because I did not put him under additionaly insured? Not legally unless it was contractually noted. If you did not have a loss you can just add the additional insured now. In a contractor/subcontractor relationship the contractor may request the subcontractor to name him "additional insured". In the event that a liability issue arises and is caused by the work of the subcontracor, the subcontractor's insurance will not only cover any claims made against the sub, but will also provide claims made against the contractor in regards to the sub's negligence. Many insurance companies DO charge a flat fee or a percentage based fee to name an additional insured.

Are volunteer workers cover under commercial liability insurance?

Commercial Insurance policies are very specific. They may be or they may not be covered. It just depends on on what coverages you purchased when you bought your commercial liability insurance policy. If you bought the cheapest rate you could find, then you probably do not have coverage for volunteers. It's best to contact your insurance agent for clarification of who and what is covered under your Commercial Insurance Policy.

Personal liability is just that ! It does not provide for business related activites. If you want to be covered for business related activites you will need to buy a policy that coveres business related activites. If you are engaging in the business of tree trimming for money you need a COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY.
