What Are the Key Differences Between AIG and Beazley General Liability Insurance?

Environmental Eligibility and Trigger

Beazley presents general liability as one component of BeazleyOne Environmental for engineering, consulting, project-management and remediation firms. It says the GL component may use an occurrence or claims-made trigger, subject to underwriting. AIG instead lists general liability across selected specialty programs for audiences that include dental, towing and leisure operations. An environmental contractor should verify eligibility and choose the trigger expressly in the Beazley quote, while another industry should ask AIG which program fits. [1] [2]

Contract Terms and Claims Support

Beazley says its package extends contractual liability under written insured contracts and automatically adds a client as additional insured when an agreement requires it; it also describes dedicated claims managers. AIG describes program-administrator claims teams but does not publish buyer-specific endorsements. Contractors should submit the contract and confirm the additional-insured wording with each proposed policy. [1] [2]
