Why this class matters to Coterie

General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesale Distributors ranks #53 on Coterie’s Top 100 classes list (December 2025), so this is a business type Coterie actively writes.

Typical risks

For grocery wholesale distributors, common claims include dock injuries to drivers, falling pallets and product contamination claims. Buyers, drivers and visitors at your warehouse create premises exposure, and products you distribute can lead to claims.

GL and BOP, explained

General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises.

A BOP protects stock, racking and office property with business income included. A business owner’s policy combines liability, property and business income in one policy.
