General liability · New Jersey
One slip, one lawsuit, one policy that answers.
General liability pays when your business, products or operations injure someone or damage their property, and it covers the legal defense even if the claim turns out to be weak.

New Jersey notes
General liability in New Jersey
What landlords, clients and lenders ask for.
Leases and contracts often require it
Commercial landlords and clients commonly require proof of liability coverage and to be named as an additional insured.
Certificates are usually quick
Send us the holder name and wording and we request the certificate, usually the same business day.
It is not property or professional coverage
GL does not cover your own building or equipment, or errors in professional advice. Those need other policies.

Questions
General liability questions we hear every week
Does it cover my own building?
No. General liability covers claims from others. Your building and contents need a property policy or a BOP.
What is an additional insured?
It is a person or company, such as a landlord, added to your policy so certain claims involving them are covered.
Is it better to buy a BOP?
A business owner’s policy bundles GL with property, often for less. We compare both for your business.
