State-by-State Analysis: General Liability Insurance Coverage Exclusions for Faulty Workmanship
This survey covers state law on the issue of faulty workmanship as an occurrence for purposes of coverage determination under a commercial general liability (CGL) policy. Generally, an insured's work product is not covered, but defective workmanship that causes property damage is covered. However, the states vary in their application of these general rules.
