General liability policies:

A General Liabiliy policy is the cornerstone of commercial insurance.  General liability coverage protects the policy’s named insured(s) against bodily injury and/or property damage suits up to the limits selected. The two most important Liability Policy limits are:

per occurrence limit

aggregate limit

The policy also provides several other limits of coverage, namely:

products-completed operations limit (equals the per occurrence limit)

personal and advertising injury limit (equals the per occurrence limit)

damages to premises rented to you limit (policies provide a $100,000 limit; $50,000 to $100,000 limit is the industry standard.)

medical expense limit $1,000 to $5,000 per person limit is the industry standard.

The per occurrence limit is the maximum amount the policy is obligated to pay for any one covered occurrence. As noted above, the aggregate limit is the total amount the policy is obligated to pay in any one policy term, subject to the per occurrence limit. In other words, the policy will never pay more than the per occurrence limit for any one occurrence. A general liability policy could pay the per occurrence limit more than one time during the policy term.
