Commercial General Liability Insurance Coverage
Commercial General Liability insurance policies are increasingly the subject of coverage claims and lawsuits. CGL policies have become the insurance coverage of choice among American businesses seeking to protect their commercial interests. The lawyers of Bolender & Associates are knowledgeable of the various CGL forms and provide their insurer clients with assistance on these matters daily. Whether the questions arise under the insuring agreement, the duty to defend, the insured’s right to independent counsel, an additional insured claim, indemnity issues or the applicability of various exclusions and conditions, we counsel clients on interpretation of all policy provisions and litigate such issues throughout state and federal trial and appellate courts.
Our clients rely on us for advice and representation regarding advertising and personal injury coverage issues, including the specialized liability forms used within the CGL framework. We also advise our clients on policy form modification and creation. Our familiarity with a range of business enterprises, including apartment buildings, hotels, residential developments, construction contracting, retail businesses, and product manufacturers, give Bolender & Associates the edge in providing the most effective service to our carrier clients.
