Property Insurance
Property insurance pays for losses and damages to your commercial property. For example, a property insurance policy would cover fire damage to your office space. Because every business is different, there are additional coverage options available.
- Building
- Contents
- Business Income & Extra Expenses
Liability Insurance
There are different types of liability insurance, including:
- General
- Employment Practices
- Professional
- Cyber
Each one has its own benefit to your business. In general, liability policies protect your business from claims against it.
General Liability Insurance protects businesses against liability claims for bodily injury, property damage and personal injury.
Umbrella Liability Insurance is extended liability insurance. This is designed to help protect you from major claims and lawsuits and as a result, it helps protect your assets and your future. Without Commercial Umbrella Insurance, business owners could be obligated to pay out of pocket for legal fees, medical bills and damages that exceed the limits of their primary business coverages.
Employment Practices Liability insurance, known as EPLI, provides coverage to employers against claims made by employees alleging discrimination (based on sex, race, age or disability, for example), wrongful termination, harassment and other employment-related issues, such as failure to promote.
Professional Liability Insurance, or Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance, covers your business against negligence claims due to harm that results from mistakes or failure to perform. Each business has different concerns and it’s better to be protected.
Cyber Liability policies cover a business’ liability for a data breach in which the firm’s customers’ personal information, such as Social Security or credit card numbers, is exposed or stolen by a hacker or other criminal who has gained access to the firm’s financial records or electronic network.
Workers' Comp Insurance
Workers’ compensation insurance should be among the first insurance policies businesses get. This covers medical treatment, disability and death benefits in the event an employee is injured or dies as a result of their work at the company. Even if employees are performing seemingly low-risk work, slip-and-fall injuries or work-related medical conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome could result in an undesirable claim.
- Medical
- Lost Wages
- Employers Liability
Commercial Umbrella Insurance
Commercial Umbrella Insurance provides businesses with additional liability coverage to protect them against potentially detrimental costs of claims.
Important assets can be at risk when businesses are the target of lawsuits or unforeseen circumstances. If the cost of a claim surpasses the limits of a business’s primary insurance policies, Commercial Umbrella Insurance extends coverage to further protect business assets.
Without Commercial Umbrella Insurance, business owners could be forced to pay for the following should they exceed what the primary coverage covers:
- Legal fees
- Medical bills
- Damage expenses
Auto Insurance
Is your car an integral part of your/your employees’ job? Or maybe you own company cars/trucks. If so, those vehicles should be insured to protect businesses against liability in case of an accident.
- Liability
- Physical Damage
- Towing
Bonding
Bonding is a type of insurance policy that a bond issuer purchases that guarantees the repayment of the principal and all associated interest payments to the bondholders in the event of default. Bond issuers buy insurance to reduce the amount of interest that it needs to pay.
- Surety
- Bid
- Performance
- Site Improvement
- License
Inland Marine Insurance
Inland Marine Insurance covers products, materials and equipment when transported over land – i.e. via truck or train—or while temporarily warehoused by a third party. Collisions and cargo theft are the two most frequent causes of inland marine losses.
- Contractors Equipment
- Tools
- Property in Transit
