General liability is the biggest commercial insurance line — about $94B a year

General liability is the coverage almost every business carries, and it's the biggest commercial line in the country: about $94 billion in premiums in 2023 (NAIC). But the profitability behind those rates varies enormously — GL loss ratios run from roughly 30% in the best states to over 100% in the worst, which is exactly why a GL policy can cost very different amounts depending on where you operate.
