Chubb vs The Hartford General Liability Insurance

It is packaged inside Chubb's BOP, Benchmarq and Customarq commercial package policies, or combined with pollution coverage in the GL Plus product. ^4,1Company-reported. BOP and technology-industry pages; a business seeking liability-only coverage should confirm whether Chubb will quote it outside a package.

The Hartford's general liability insurance (GLI), also called commercial general liability (CGL), helps protect small businesses from third-party claims of bodily injury or property damage. It can be bought as a stand-alone policy or bundled into a Business Owner's Policy. ¹⁰Company-reported. General liability product page as read 2026-09-23.
