Corgi vs ERGO NEXT Insurance General Liability Insurance

Corgi sells Commercial General Liability (CGL) as a standalone policy and includes it in every startup package tier it lists, from Pre-Seed & Seed through Series A, Growth Stage and the Custom Package. ^2,6Company-reported. Homepage package contents and the CGL product page.

ERGO NEXT sells general liability as a standalone online policy for small businesses, separate from its bundled business owner's policy. ¹⁰Company-reported. General liability product page; does not describe every distribution channel ERGO NEXT uses for this line.

Corgi's CGL page states the policy is underwritten by Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc., a risk retention group, rather than one of Corgi's admitted carrier affiliates. ⁶Company-reported. CGL scenario note 1 and policy boundaries section.

The general liability product page does not name an issuing insurer. A posted Texas general-liability specimen names State National Insurance Company, Inc. as insurer, but it is a 2020-form illustrative specimen for one state and class, not evidence of the insurer on a new applicant's policy. ^10,11Verified.

The standard CGL form (CORG-CGL-0100) is occurrence-based and covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and a narrow list of personal-and-advertising-injury offenses, but excludes patent infringement, professional errors, cyber incidents, and damage to property in the policyholder's care, custody or control. ⁶Company-reported. CGL coverage table and scenario/policy notes; illustrative summary, not policy wording.

ERGO NEXT says its general liability policies can cover slip-and-fall injuries to non-employees, damage to property the business does not own, legal defense costs, non-employee medical payments, and libel, slander or advertising-injury lawsuits. ¹⁰Company-reported. Product page coverage list; the issued policy and its exclusions control an actual claim.

ERGO NEXT lists the policy as excluding damage to the business owner's own property, employee injuries (covered by workers' compensation instead), professional errors, vehicle accidents and cyber attacks; those need separate policies or add-ons. ¹⁰Company-reported. Product page exclusions summary.

Corgi shows illustrative CGL limits of up to $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate, a $100,000 damage-to-premises sublimit, $5,000 medical payments per person, and a $2,000 per-claim self-insured retention; actual amounts appear on the declarations page. ⁶Company-reported.

Corgi says the CGL insurer has a duty to defend covered claims, meaning it appoints and pays for defense counsel on the policyholder's behalf, subject to the applicable retention. ⁶Company-reported.
