General liability solutions
General liability
The Hanover’s suite of general liability broadening coverage offerings is designed to help fully protect your commercial package property (CPP) and monoline general liability clients against costly damage, injury and suits brought against them.
Our general liability broadening coverage is issued as a suite of coverages. When you include general liability broadening coverage as a part of your client’s insurance solution, the suite of broadening coverage will always consist of two endorsements:
- Base broadening endorsement – Includes 13 coverages and enhancements common across all industries, such as knowledge of occurrence, liberalization clause and unintentional failure to notify.
- Enhancement endorsement – Industry-specific or general enhancement endorsement that further enhances the base broadening endorsement to meet challenging exposures.
