Exclusion

Language that takes a type of injury, damage, or activity out of the insuring agreement.

What it means

Exclusions can live in the base form or on a numbered endorsement (CG 21 xx, CP 10 32, BP 14 01). An exclusion is not a recommendation to buy another policy; it is a description of what this policy leaves out.

Why it shows up

People search form numbers after a broker or an owner says “you have a pollution exclusion” or “participant liability is excluded.”

What to look for

  • CG 21 series on GL
  • Causes-of-loss limitations on property
  • Professional services exclusions

Coverbird reads the declarations and form schedule on the PDF you already have. It does not sell insurance or say whether a limit is enough.
