General Liability Blanket, Waiver of Subrogation Endorsement (QBCG-2089 (03-23))

Adds a waiver of subrogation for general liability risk transfer, but does not include additional insured coverage. Coverage is extended to any person or organization required by written contract.

What Does This Coverage Include?

Modifies the Commercial General Liability (CGL) policy to address common contract risk transfer requirements—such as additional insured status, primary and noncontributory wording, and waiver of subrogation.
Includes a **Waiver of Subrogation**, meaning the insurer agrees (to the extent permitted by the endorsement) not to pursue recovery against certain parties after paying a covered loss.
Waiver of subrogation is a risk transfer tool that can help prevent post-claim reimbursement actions (subrogation) against owners, clients, or other required parties.
Written on a **blanket** basis, extending the applicable coverage to any person or organization you are required to name by written contract—reducing the need to schedule every entity one-by-one.
Commonly used in construction, maintenance, and service agreements where the upstream party wants clear allocation of defense and indemnity responsibility tied to your work.

What Is NOT Covered?

The following coverages can be included if endorsed elsewhere
Additional Insured coverage: This endorsement does not add Additional Insured status for upstream parties such as owners, general contractors, or clients.
Ongoing operations Additional Insured coverage: This endorsement does not extend additional insured protection for liability tied to ongoing operations (work in progress).
Completed operations Additional Insured coverage: This endorsement does not extend additional insured protection for liability arising out of completed operations (after work is finished).
Primary and noncontributory status: This endorsement does not state that your policy applies on a primary and noncontributory basis for the required parties.

Why Is This Endorsement Important?

Reduces friction after a loss by supporting **waiver of subrogation** provisions, which can help prevent the carrier from pursuing recovery against the required parties.
Simplifies compliance across projects by extending coverage automatically to parties required by written contract—reducing endorsement scheduling delays and administrative rework.
Creates clearer alignment between insurance and contract obligations, which can reduce disputes during certificate review and at claim time.
Helps allocate defense costs to the policy intended to support the contract’s risk transfer structure—subject to policy terms and limits.
