workers compensation

Workers Compensation

Nearly 18.5% of Americans are currently living with a disability, and 1 out of every 4 people in the US workforce will suffer a disabling injury before retirement. These facts can be startling, and on top of that, each disability insurance type has specific rules as to how someone qualifies to receive the benefit and if it is considered a short-term or long-term disability. These factors and more dictate exactly how much is paid out and over time period the disbursements cover.

inland marine insurance

Inland Marine Insurance

Inland marine insurance indemnifies loss to movable or specialized types of property. Historically developing as an outgrowth of ocean marine insurance to cover goods in transit over large bodies of water, commercial inland marine coverage typically covers property being transported on land. Inland Marine insurance has since evolved to cover a broad range of miscellaneous types of property not only in transit, but also onsite too.

excess liability umbrella insurance

EXCESS LIABILITY (UMBRELLA) INSURANCE

Commercial excess liability policies provide an insured with an extra layer of liability of protection over the primarily liability insurance. Most umbrella policies require an insured to initially purchase liability insurance coverage to be able to purchase an addition umbrella insurance policy.

ocean marine cargo

OCEAN MARINE CARGO

Ocean Marine cargo is designed to safeguard property that you have a vested interest in while it is on shipping vessels while in transit domestically or internationally. Over 90% of globally traded goods are carried over seas, do you have the property insurance in force to protect your goods?

professional liability insurance or errors and omissions

PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY / ERrors & OMIssions

Professional Liability coverage protects professionals (such as accountants, attorneys) against liability incurred as resulting from errors and omissions in performing professional services. There are exceptions (physicians, architects, and engineers), most professional liability coverages only protect economic or financial losses suffered by third parties, as opposed to bodily injury (BI) and property damage (PD) claims.

management liability insurance

Management LIABILITY Insurance

Management liability is designed to protect officers, directors, managers and other employee oversight positions from claims that arise out of mismanagement, governance, finance, benefits and other management activities.

cyber liability insurance

CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE

Cyber liability insurance is a developing product in the industry that has come into the limelight over the past few years. Harsher underwriting standards have been implemented by insurance carriers and other carriers are non renewing clients because of lack of cyber security procedure in place. It is important to have an agent that has access to a variety of markets to ensure you are not out in the dark at renewal.

surety bonding

Surety Bonding

A surety bond is a contract between three parties: the principal, the surety, and the obligee. The principal is usually a contractor, the obligee is usually a third-party ensuring completion of the work, and the surety is the insurance agency guaranteeing the bond should it need paid out.
