What Are the Key Differences Between Lockton and WithCoverage General Liability Insurance?

Building a Program Versus Reviewing One

Lockton's general liability page describes designing custom program structures for commercial clients using insurers across the global market. [5] WithCoverage instead describes reviewing general liability coverage a client already holds as part of a broader insurance-program audit, naming construction and restaurants as industries it serves. [6] [7]

Who Each One Names as Its Market

Lockton names global manufacturers, business-to-business service providers, consumer products companies, REITs, contractors and healthcare companies. [5] WithCoverage instead names general liability specifically in its page hero for two industries, construction and restaurants, framing a coverage gap in the line as a risk to a year of project profit or a year of service revenue. [6] [7]

Continuity With an Existing Broker

Lockton's casualty pages describe a dedicated service team that stays with clients through placement, implying an ongoing brokerage relationship. [4] WithCoverage instead says its program audit does not require a client to leave its current broker, positioning the review as a check rather than a switch. [6]

What Should You Confirm in Lockton and WithCoverage General Liability Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Lockton which insurers it can place your account with, since its reviewed pages name none. [5]
  • Ask WithCoverage which insurer or insurers it would place your general liability coverage with if the audit recommends a change; its reviewed pages do not name one. [6]
  • If you're outside construction or restaurants, ask WithCoverage whether its program audit covers your industry, since its named examples are limited to those two.
  • Ask Lockton for published limit figures, since its reviewed pages do not disclose them for general liability. [5]

Lockton designs new general liability programs for global manufacturers and other large accounts, while WithCoverage reviews general liability coverage clients already hold, naming construction and restaurants as the industries it audits.
