General Liability (GL) Insurance helps protect you from claims that happen as a result of normal business operations.

Not sure whether you need a personal or commercial auto insurance policy? Here are some things to consider when deciding what kind of insurance policy you need.
1. Who Owns and Drives the Vehicle - If your vehicle is owned by a business, most likely, you'll need a commercial auto insurance policy. If you're a sole proprietor, you might only need a personal auto insurance policy. The type of policy you need also depends on how often the vehicle is used and what it's used for.
2. How the Vehicle is Used - If you use your vehicle for business purposes, you'll probably need a commercial auto insurance policy. If you're a sole proprietor who only travels to 1 or 2 job sites a day, or just use your vehicle for commuting, you might only need a personal auto insurance policy.
3. The Type and Weight of the Vehicle - If the vehicle you drive is heavier than a normal size pickup or SUV, like a dump truck, tow truck, or semi truck and commercial trailer, you might require a commercial auto insurance policy. Heavy duty vehicles can cause more damage if they're involved in an accident and sometimes require special insurance coverages.
4. Required Business Liability Limits - If your business vehicle requires higher liability limits, you will probably need a commercial auto insurance policy. Commercial auto insurance policies typically offer higher limits than personal auto insurance policies.
