Commercial General Liability
CGL Master Class - Coverage A and Selected Exclusions
When most of us think about the CGL policy, we usually think about bodily injury and property damage. We all understand that there's more to it than that, but that's what we immediately think about.
Join us as we take apart Coverage A in this session. We plan to look at several exclusions and look for ways to deal with those exclusions.
CGL Master Class - Additional Insured Endorsements
Your clients are signing contracts more often than you ever wanted to know. Many of those contracts come with insurance requirements. Some request indemnification. Others are asking to add the other party as an additional insured on your client's liability policies.
- What is an additional insured?
- Why would someone want to be an additional insured?
- Why would you add someone as an additional insured?
- What does it really mean to be an additional insured?
These questions and more are answered in this third session in our CGL Master Class. Join us as Academy Director of Education, Patrick Wraight digs into the additional insured.
Our Legal System and Legal Liability
Liability is complicated. Where does the legal liability come from? How have courts handled similar situations?
Join us as Brenda Wells gives us an overview of the US legal system and helps us to understand how the law might impose liability.
Fire Legal Liability vs. Legal Liability Coverage Form
Understanding the differences between these two coverage topics is very important to your client, especially if they end up having a loss that would be covered under one yet excluded under the other. We'll make certain that we understand what is "legal liability" and how it could apply given both of these coverages.
Join us as Casey Roberts helps us to understand the differences between these two coverage topics so that you can help your clients make informed choices.

CGL Master Class - Who is an Insured and Why Do You Care?
Is the new employee that decided to take a swing at a customer an insured on the company's CGL policy?
Is there coverage if an employee takes action to protect property and injures someone in the process?
Join us as we explore who is an insured on a CGL policy with Patrick Wraight, Director of Education for the Academy in this second installment of our CGL Master Class.
CGL Master Class - Liability Exposures
The CGL policy can be complicated. What's the difference between Coverages A, B, and C? What liability exposures are covered?
In this first session of our Commercial General Liability Master Class, we will examine the different liability exposures that a business may face and then look at how the CGL policy might respond to those exposures. Spoiler alert. Sometimes, they aren't covered and the client will need another policy.
Join us as Academy Director Patrick Wraight begins the Commercial General Liability Master Class with this session about liability exposures.
Duty to Defend vs. Duty to Indemnify
In many insurance policies, the contract tells us that the insurer has the "right and duty to defend..." but what does that really mean? Is that the same thing as the duty to indemnify? Which is more important or valuable, if either is? Join us as Joe Junfola helps us to understand how the duty to indemnify works with the duty to defend. He'll deal with issues of long-term exposures and continuous damage and he'll explain the "four corners" test.
CGL Coverage - Other Insurance and Allocation
Sometimes it is difficult to know how many occurrences make up the liability claim, or worse, how many policies may respond to the claim. Join us as Joe Junfola helps us with this and other issues that surround CGL Coverage - Other Insurance and Allocation.
When Does Property Damage Occur?
When does property damage occur when property damage is continuous and progressive? When does the damage begin and end for the purpose of triggering coverage in the CGL policy? Join us as Joe Junfola helps us to get a grip on when a loss occurs so that the claim can be handled by the proper policy(s).
