What is Underwriting?
Underwriting is the process of evaluating the characteristics of a risk that affect the likelihood of a loss.
For example, a buildings construction type and contents have a major effect on how quickly a fire might spread. In determining what characteristics to evaluate, it helps to understand a particular risk’s exposure to loss.

General LiabilityPremises:
Customers do not usually come to an electrical contractor’s place of business. Customers usually call the contractor and ask them to come to their location to bid on a job. As such, there is very minor exposure to a liability loss on an electrical contractor’s premises. Compare this to a retail hardware store, where customers are on the premises constantly

Property Damage:
Physical damage to tangible property, including loss of use to that property, or loss of use to tangible property that is not damaged. Example: A contractor is doing work to the entrance of a building and has scaffolding erected. The scaffolding collapses and takes 2 days to clean up, during which time customers cannot gain entrance to the building. Although no physical damage has taken place to the building, there is loss of use.

Premium Base:
The activity that best measures the total exposures associated with a class of business. For sales oriented businesses, the premium base is Gross Sales. For service and contract businesses, the base is payroll. For lessors and building occupancy risks, the premium base is square footage. For some manufacturing businesses, the base may be units. The premium base is what you input on the General Liability ACORD app.

Definitions:
A Word About Liquor Liability – The liquor liability exclusions is intended to exclude liability for those in the business of manufacturing, selling or distributing alcohol. Host liquor liability is covered. For example, a business throws an office party and serves alcohol. One of the employees drinks too much and gets in a fight and injures someone on the way home. The employer gets sued by the injured party for serving the employee too much alcohol, leading to their injuries. Liability in this case would not be excluded

Business ClassificationAll business risks are broken down into 5 major
business classifications. The businesses in each classification share the common exposure and risk factors, and usually are measured by the same premium base

Commercial General LiabilityPremium Audit
Often times you will hear that the GL premium is auditable. What does that mean?
The premium charged for CGL is based on premium exposure units (area, total units, payroll, and sales).
With the exception of area, these exposure units are estimated at the policy inception, and will likely be different at the end of the year from the estimated amount. In order for the premium charged to be accurate and fair, the final amount charged needs to be based on the actual sales, payroll, etc. Therefore, at the end of the policy period (one year later) the insurance company audits the actual payroll or sales figures and adjusts the premium charged accordingly. This usually results in a returned premium (RP) or an additional premium (AP).

Often times you will hear that the GL premium is auditable. What does that mean?
Therefore, it is very important that the estimated figures have some basis in reality, and not be “estimated” in order to achieve a lower initial premium. You can bet that the
insured will not the surprise of a large AP at the end of the policy period.
