Not necessarily. An action may give rise to either criminal or tort liability, or both, but there are plenty of torts that are not criminally actionable. Nuisance is a good example. An activity that causes a nuisance, such as continuously burning leaves on your lawn, may not be a crime, but you might still be liable to your neighbor who is negatively affected by the smoke entering his property.

Can General Liability Insurance also include Garage Liability Insurance?

Yes it can. In fact, a policy written on a "Garage Liability Form" will show a limit for "Auto" and then also show a limit for "Other than auto". Auto liability is basically due to the fact that the garage will test drive autos while fixing them. Other than auto is the premises or general liability. This shows that garage liability will also include general liability on the declarations page.
