Very broad term for insurance covering liability exposures for individuals and business owners. It provides broad coverage, generally including all exposures for property damage and bodily injury, except exposures that relate to ownership of airplanes and automobiles, and to employees. Liability insurance may be written to cover specified hazards, as a commercial general liability insurance (CGL) policy, package policy, or scheduled policy.
