Considerations

Construction Industry
If I'm "additional insured," does it protect me after the project is finished? If my sub-contractor's work resulted in a claim, would my policy protect me at all? If my business property is in my personal garage and it burns down, do I have coverage? Are my sub-contractors really independent? What is this contract I'm signing really asking for and could I be open to a breach of contract lawsuit?


Trucking Industry
Why do I need General Liability for trucking? Do I have coverage for lost income if my truck is involved in an accident? What is "Stated Amount" and when do I want to have that coverage? Do I have coverage for loading and unloading my trailer?

Do you know . . .

Do you know what an Additional Insured is? By adding a company or a person as an Additional Insured to your policy, you are granting them the same limits, benefits and rights as you, the policyholder.

Do you know what the penalty is for not carrying Workers' Compensation when coverage is needed? In addition to having to reimburse up to 165% of the benefits paid, employers can be fined over $1,000 per employee for each week they failed to purchase coverage. Fines may accumulate depending on the situation. If you are unsure as to whether Workers' Compensation insurance is needed, please contact us today.

Do you know if a trailer is being used commercially and the gross vehicle weight is over 2000 lbs. it needs to be specifically listed on the policy to have liability coverage?

Do you know how much you will get paid every month if your business cannot operate? Does your current policy provide Business Income or Extra Expense coverage? Our agents will review the benefits of this coverage with you so you can determine if coverage is needed.

Do you know that even truckers need General Liability coverage?

Do you know what the purpose of an audit is? Audits guarantee the insured has paid the correct policy premium. Estimated figures (payroll or sales) are used to calculate the initial premium. The policy is audited at the end of the term and the premium is recalculated using actual numbers from the insured's books. As a result, the insured may receive a refund or additional premium may be due. While reviewing your policy annually, we will adjust estimates accordingly to help prevent large audit credits or bills.
