ERGO NEXT excludes intentional wrongdoing, illegal activity, property damage, bodily injury, false advertising, employee work injuries and vehicle accidents from E&O. [4] Its page directs buyers to general liability for property damage and bodily injury; Corgi does not publish a corresponding exclusion list. [3]
