What Are the Key Differences Between Corgi and Zurich U.S. General Liability Insurance?

Policy form and limits

Corgi describes its standard CGL as occurrence-based, with illustrative limits up to $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, plus listed sublimits and a $2,000 retention; declarations set actual amounts. Zurich’s public overview describes liability scope but not quote limits. Compare actual declarations and any care-custody-control exclusions rather than relying on examples. [2] [7]

Who issues the policy

Corgi names Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc. as the CGL underwriter. Zurich lists general liability among U.S. commercial casualty products but its reviewed records do not name the insurer on a particular quote. Ask for the declarations page and issuing company before comparing financial and contractual requirements. [2] [8]

Buying and risk support

On the CGL page reviewed 2026-09-23, Corgi described an online quote flow and said eligible applicants may bind the same day; the page did not describe premises-safety services. Zurich directs buyers to an agent or broker and describes Risk Engineers and Claims support across casualty solutions. Decide whether the reported online route or access to those services matters for your operation. [2] [8]

What Should You Confirm in Corgi and Zurich U.S. General Liability Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Corgi to confirm the declarations limits, retention, exclusions and Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc. as issuer for your state and class. [2]
  • Ask Zurich’s agent to identify the insurer, quote limits, counsel/claims process and which Risk Engineer services apply. [7]

Corgi names Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc. as its CGL underwriter. Zurich lists general liability in its U.S. commercial casualty portfolio.
