Commercial property insurance coverage varies from policy to policy, but commercial property coverage is classified by the type of event leading to a loss and by what things are insured.
The most basic commercial property insurance covers any losses caused by fires or explosions, theft, vandalism and damage from vehicles or airplanes. Additional coverage (also known as endorsements) can provide additional protection for damage such as, broken glass caused by an earthquake.
The key items insured in commercial property insurance includes the following:

Premises or operations coverages protect businesses in the event of someone filing a claim due to an injury. This type of general liability insurance is only for third party claims. When an employee files an injury claim, it comes under worker’s compensation insurance and not CGL.
CGL insurance also covers businesses if individuals file a claim for any damages that take place off the premises. For example, general liability insurance will protect your assets if someone is injured while using a product with faulty part, made in your factory.

CGL insurance also protects employees acting in an official capacity. It covers your corporation’s executive officers, stockholders and directors when they are acting on the behalf of your business. In joint ventures and partnerships, it covers the official actions of partners, members and their spouses.
Most importantly, CGL insurance allows a business to survive as an entity. Please note that some companies may present a higher hazard liability exposure that requires specialized underwriting.
