Question

A company owns land that is used as a softball diamond and recreational park for hosting employee picnics. Once a year the company also allows a non-profit organization to hold a softball game on these premises. During this year's softball game, the director of the non-profit was injured when a softball hit him in the head. He asked the company that owns the land to pay for his trip to the emergency room. What is the company's unendorsed Commercial General Liability policy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Commercial General Liability Policy will not provide compensation for injured caused by softball to the Director

Explanation:

Commercial General Liability (CGL) is an insurance policy that provide protection and assurance to a business organisation against any legal liability arising from the use of its property, while in the premises of the insured, from use of product.

The Commercial General Liability  provides the coverage below:

-Liability arising from Bodily injury and property damage

-Liability arising from Personal and advertising injury and Medical payments

In this director scenario, the CGL have in its provision and condition to provide compensation for the injury caused as a result of their actions (e.g. building collapse, left broken bottles, bad product which directly affected third party) but the director was injured by his own accompanied property and have no relation whatsoever with the Land company. Hence no indemnity or compensation will be provided under the Commercial General Liability Policy.
