General liability insurance covers personal injury lawsuits that occur on your commercial property or by using your product, as well as harm to the plaintiff's property and damages caused by defamation, libel, copyright infringement, and other claims.
What does a Professional Liability insurance cover?
Professional liability insurance compensates the consumers or employers for losses caused by negligence, malpractice, errors, misrepresentation, incomplete or faulty work, and contract breaches.

Suits arising from bodily injury on company premises or from goods sold by the company.

Only those mentioned in the policy are covered, not criminal prosecution or all forms of legal responsibility under civil law. Cyber liability, which covers data breaches and other security problems, isn't often covered by standard policies. Data security and other technology security-related matters, on the other hand, are covered by a different regulation.
