Core CGL Coverage Areas
Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Personal & Advertising Injury and Products/Completed Operations.
General Liability • Contractors • Businesses
General Liability coverage starts with the work you actually perform.
A remodeling contractor, cleaner, retailer and office do not create the same exposure. Accurate operations, sales, payroll, subcontractors and job-site activity help determine underwriting and available coverage.
What is General Liability Insurance?
Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance can help protect a business against certain covered third-party claims involving bodily injury, property damage, and personal or advertising injury. Products/completed operations coverage may also respond to covered injury or property damage caused by products or completed work. Actual coverage depends on the policy, limits, exclusions and endorsements.
Texas reference: Texas Department of Insurance — Commercial General Liability Insurance.

Tell us what your business does, your ZIP code and what you need. A licensed agent can review available options and COI requirements. Submitting a request does not bind coverage.
Certificate of Insurance
Need a General Liability Certificate of Insurance (COI)?
A COI is evidence that insurance exists. It does not create, expand or change coverage beyond the policy and applicable endorsements.
Review Requirements
We can review insurance requirements provided by a client, landlord, general contractor or project owner. Insurance guidance is not legal advice.
Match the Policy
Limits, additional insured status, waiver requests and endorsements must be supported by the actual policy and applicable carrier-approved endorsements.
Provide Evidence
Once coverage is in force, an appropriate Texas-compliant certificate may be used as evidence of coverage. The certificate itself does not modify the policy.
Texas COI guidance
Texas Department of Insurance guidance explains that certificates must accurately reflect the policy. TDI links are public regulatory references and do not imply endorsement of Golden EPG Group.

Coverage Boundaries
Common CGL exclusions to review
Your Work / Your Product
CGL policies commonly contain exclusions involving damage to your own work or product, with policy-specific exceptions and endorsements.
Workers’ Compensation
CGL is not intended to replace workers’ compensation or employers liability coverage.
Pollution & Other Exclusions
Pollution and other exposures may be excluded or limited and can require separate coverage depending on the business.
Policy Form
Occurrence vs. claims-made
Texas Department of Insurance explains that occurrence policies generally respond based on when the injury or damage occurred, while claims-made policies also depend on when a claim is made and reported. The applicable form, retroactive date and reporting requirements should be reviewed carefully.
Premium Audit
Why sales and payroll estimates matter
Many CGL policies are auditable. Estimated payroll, sales or other exposure bases may be reviewed during or after the policy period. Accurate estimates can help reduce unexpected audit adjustments.
