Commercial General Liability Insurance: Rights, Claims, and Defense Strategies for New York Businesses
The duty to defend is broader than the duty to indemnify, and that gap is usually where the value is. An insurer must defend if the allegations in the complaint arguably fall within coverage — even where it ultimately owes nothing on the judgment. A claim that fails on the merits still consumed defense costs the insurer was obligated to pay. Late notice no longer ends the claim automatically. New York was once among the few states permitting an insurer to deny for late notice without showing harm. Since 2009, liability policies issued or covering risks in New York require the insurer to establish prejudice. Claims-made policies work differently, where the reporting deadline is a condition of coverage rather than a notice provision. A disclaimer must state its grounds. An insurer that denies without specifying a basis may be limited in raising others later. Additional insured status is a recurring dispute. A contract requiring you to be named does not itself make you covered — the endorsement language controls, and its scope is frequently narrower than what the contract promised. Confirming the endorsement, not the certificate of insurance, is the step that matters. And the policy excludes more than it covers. Contractual liability, professional services, pollution, and employment practices each sit outside a standard CGL form and require separate coverage.
