Commercial general liability insurance is a broad type of insurance policy which provides liability insurance for general business risks.
Commercial General Liability (CGL) is the specific name for a policy of this type in the United States insurance market. It is the "first line" of coverage that a business typically purchases, and covers many of the common risks that can happen to any type of business, such as bodily injury or property damage on the business premises or due to the business operations, personal and advertising injury, and medical payments.
It specifically excludes certain types of risks, including professional services, pollution, liquor, and directors and officers liability, and separate insurance policies are available to cover these situations.

Construction defects coverage
Whether or not general liability insurance covers construction defects or "faulty workmanship" is a matter of some debate, as some insurers have viewed poor workmanship as a risk that is covered by a surety bond rather than an insurance policy given that a construction professional may have some influence (through attention to detail, skill, and effort) over whether such a defect occurs. Though in certain jurisdictions manufacturers of component parts continue to have coverage under a Commercial General Liability policy if their component part harms a finished product, in this case homeowners pursuing damages to a home caused by defective windows.
