Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL) 

Commercial general liability insurance, often called CGL insurance, is a necessity for all businesses. This type of insurance covers your legal expenses if you’re sued for causing bodily injury or property damage to a third party due to negligent acts. A common example is a visitor slipping and falling at your office. 

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance 

Directors and officers can be held personally responsible for their actions while serving on a board of directors if they have acted outside the law or failed to perform their duties properly.  Directors and officers liability insurance (D&O) is designed to offer protection for directors and officers, covering legal expenses from claims brought by regulatory bodies, suppliers and vendors, employees, creditors, and customers. 

Criminal penalties or offences will not be covered as this type of loss is not insurable by law.
