Commercial General Liability ("CGL") Claims

The attorneys of Pillsbury & Levinson, LLP represent firms in insurance disputes involving non-payment of claims covered by their general commercial liability (CGL) insurance.

General commercial liability insurance is usually sold as a package that covers:

  • Product liability claims — For bodily injury and property damage caused by a dangerous or defective product
  • Property and business interruption claims — For property damage and costs associated with a disaster, such as a fire, that causes your business to shut down temporarily. In addition to property damage, it covers lost revenue, continuing operating expenses and the costs of relocation to a temporary location.
  • Personal injury claims — For bodily injury and property damage caused by your company. The coverage includes defense of personal injury claims and payments for medical bills, pain and suffering and other damages.
  • Advertising injury claims — For damages caused by "false advertising" or misrepresentation of a product or service in advertising

Our attorneys also represent clients in less common forms of commercial liability insurance, such as:

Representations and Warranties Insurance — A relatively new insurance product, representations and warranties coverage can be purchased as part of a general commercial liability policy. It protects buyers and sellers from losses caused by inaccuracies in representations and warranties made in connection with mergers, acquisitions and other business transactions. These are often manuscripted policies, tailored to the specific transaction. Our lawyers are adept at resolving disputes involving all types of manuscripted policies, including representations and warranties insurance.

Our law firm has years of experience successfully resolving complex disputes involving commercial liability coverage. If your firm's insurance company has unreasonably denied or delayed payment of your claim — or cancelled your policy after you made a claim — you may be the victim of insurance bad faith. Please contact Pillsbury & Levinson, LLP in San Francisco, California, to learn if we can be of assistance.
