Coverage lines

Every question on this site lives under exactly one coverage line. Cost, claims, renewal, and compliance questions are filed under the line they concern.

How to use this index

Start with the person or organization that could make a claim. Injured customers and damaged third-party property point toward general liability; clients alleging financial loss from advice or work point toward professional liability. Claims about management, employment decisions, products, alcohol service, or limits above a primary policy each have their own line.

A contract may require several lines at once, but its insurance schedule is a demand from a counterparty rather than a complete risk analysis. Use the coverage pages below to test each requested line against the exposure, then use the guides when the decision crosses more than one policy.
