General LiabilityInsurance California

General liability is the foundation of every commercial insurance program. General liability insurance protects your California business from third-party claims for bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury. As an independent broker, Wellington Partners shops the full market to find the right GL policy at the most competitive rate available.

What It Covers

What Does General Liability Actually Protect?

General liability is the foundation of every commercial insurance program — protecting your business from third-party claims for bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury.

✓
Bodily Injury
A customer, visitor, or third party is injured at your job site or business. GL covers their medical costs and your legal defense.
✓
Property Damage
Your operations damage someone else's property — a client's building, equipment on a job site. GL covers repair or replacement costs.
✓
Personal & Advertising Injury
Claims of libel, slander, or false advertising made against your business. GL covers legal defense and settlements.
✓
Legal Defense Costs
Attorney fees and court costs are covered even if the lawsuit is groundless. Defense alone can reach six figures.
✓
Products & Completed Operations
Coverage for claims that arise after your work is completed — critical for contractors and manufacturers.
Who Needs It

GL Coverage for Every California Business

General liability is required on virtually every commercial contract in California. Here's how it applies:

🏗️
Contractors & Trades
Required for CSLB licensing and every commercial job bid. We place GL for GCs, electricians, plumbers, roofers and all trades.
🚛
Transportation & Trucking
Combined GL and commercial auto programs for carriers, fleets and owner-operators.
🧹
Janitorial & Cleaning
GL protects cleaning companies against third-party property damage claims — one of the most common claims in the industry.
🏪
Retail & Professional Services
Any business with foot traffic, client interactions or customer-facing operations needs GL as baseline protection.
