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

Completed Operations and Related Lines

Kinro describes general liability as addressing third-party bodily injury, property damage, completed-operations claims and certain advertising injuries, distinguishing it from workers' compensation and E&O. AIG lists GL in selected programs but does not publish occurrence terms or exclusions. Contractors should compare completed-operations wording and confirm that employee injuries and professional mistakes are routed to the appropriate separate policies. [1] [5]

Jobsite Intake and Program Eligibility

Kinro collects business activity, revenue, locations, states, subcontractor and jobsite exposure, and prior losses, often reviewing GL with BOP, workers' compensation and umbrella coverage. AIG's catalog instead names programs for selected industries. A buyer should give both the actual project profile, then confirm which AIG program accepts the class and whether Kinro's proposed carrier can meet contract limits. [1] [5]

AIG

  • role: This evidence supports general liability only within the named AIG programs cited here; it does not establish one uniform standalone general liability product across all businesses. Role in this product is limited to the description on the linked AIG source.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: AIG lists general liability within selected programs for audiences such as community associations, crane and rigging businesses, dental practices, leisure operations, manufactured housing, motorsports, psychoanalysts and towing operations. This is not a universal industry eligibility statement. Audience is the segment AIG names on the linked source; this is not an underwriting decision, quote or guarantee of availability.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: The program directory identifies General Liability as a coverage component in the cited named programs. It does not publish the occurrence definitions, covered operations, limits, exclusions or endorsements for any buyer’s policy. AIG’s public product description is not the policy. Actual entitlement depends on the applicable issued form, endorsements and declarations.company-reportedSource ↗
  • services: AIG describes underwriting, claims and loss-control teams for its Program Administrators, including program development support and admitted/non-admitted structures. These program services are separate from policy entitlement. The linked page describes company-reported support; specific account services and third-party arrangements must be confirmed.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: No general liability limit, deductible or retention for a particular program is stated in the directory. Confirm the program-specific quote and issued form. This statement reports only what the linked public source discloses and does not substitute for a quote or issued policy.not-disclosedSource ↗

Kinro

  • role: Kinro is a broker: it matches a business to a general liability carrier rather than underwriting the policy itself, saying the product "can underwrite differently" by operation and that market fit depends on carrier appetite. General Liability page "Routing" and "Market fit" sections.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Kinro describes general liability as usually the first liability policy a small business buys, typically responding to third-party bodily injury, property damage, completed-operations claims and certain personal or advertising injury claims, and distinguishes it from workers' compensation (employee injuries) and professional liability/E&O (service mistakes). General Liability page introduction, "Coverage" and "Coverage comparison" sections; actual terms depend on the carrier and policy placed.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: Kinro says general liability commonly fits contractors, cleaning companies, retail stores and restaurants, and typically comes up when a landlord, general contractor, customer or marketplace asks for a certificate of insurance, or a contract requires it before work starts. General Liability page "Common fit" and "Triggers" sections.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: The reviewed page does not publish general liability limits, deductibles or premiums; it lists required limits and additional-insured wording as inputs carriers need to quote, not published amounts. General Liability page "Quote file" section as read on 2026-09-23.not-foundSource ↗
  • application: To quote general liability, Kinro collects business activity, revenue, locations and states, subcontractor and jobsite exposure, and prior losses, and often reviews it together with BOP, workers' compensation and umbrella coverage. General Liability page "Quote file" and "Reviewed with" sections.company-reportedSource ↗
