Will it be sufficient to cover my claims once I'd retire? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	Dave batista Guest

This gives us a clear view that the CGL policy would only cover for damages or injuries that occur within the policy period. Such policies would automatically get dropped as soon as you'd retire or your business closes down. If you're a contractor, you could face a claim even after the policy period is over. It's a popular misconception if you'd believe that any injuries caused due to the wall would be covered by the CGL policy since the wall was constructed within the policy period. It would only be covered if the damage has also been caused within the policy period. You could go for the discontinued operations coverage in case you'd like to stay covered against damages that may occur once your CGL policy ceases to exist.	roddick Senior member Joined: 05 Oct 2005 Posts: 962 143.16 Dollars($)

It's essential to have this type of coverage if you're a building contractor or a manufacturer. Initially this coverage may cost you the same as that of your CGL policy, but thereafter the premium percentage drops with each passing year.

(Some companies exclude this coverage so check your policy) and it would cover you after the policy expires if the damage was done due to your negligence.
