   Property insurance pays for losses and damages to real or
    personal property. For example, a property insurance policy
    would cover fire damage to your office space.
   Boiler and machinery insurance, sometimes referred to as "equipment breakdown"
    or "mechanical breakdown coverage," provides coverage for the accidental
    breakdown of boilers, machinery, and equipment. This type of coverage usually
    will reimburse you for property damage and business interruption losses. For
    example, this coverage would cover fire damage to computers.
   Debris removal insurance covers the cost of removing debris after a fire, flood, windstorm, etc.
    For example, a fire burns your building to the ground. Before you can start rebuilding, the
    remains of the old building have to be removed. Your property insurance will cover the costs
    of rebuilding, but not of removing the debris.
   Builder's risk insurance covers buildings while they are being
    constructed. For example, a Builder's risk policy would cover losses if a
    windstorm takes down your partially constructed condominium
    complex.
   Glass insurance covers broken store windows
    and plate glass windows.
   Inland marine insurance covers property in transit and other people's
    property on your premises. For example, this insurance would cover fire-
    damage to customers' clothing from a fire at your dry cleaning business.
   Business interruption insurance covers lost income and expenses
    resulting from property damage or loss. For example, if a fire forces you
    to close your doors for two months, this insurance would reimburse you
    for salaries, taxes, rents, and net profits that would have been earned
    during the two-month period.
   Ordinance or law insurance covers the costs associated with having to demolish
    and rebuild to code when your building has been partially destroyed (usually 50
    percent). For example, your three-story building is 100 years old. A flood destroys
    the basement and first two stories. Because more than 50 percent of your building
    has to be rebuilt, a local ordinance requires that the building be completely
    demolished and rebuilt according to current building codes. Property insurance
    covers only the replacement value, not the upgrade.
   Commercial leases often require tenants to carry a certain amount
    of insurance. A renter's commercial policy covers damages to
    improvements you make to your rental space and damages to the
    building caused by the negligence of your employees.
   Crime insurance covers theft, burglary, and
    robbery of money, securities, stock, and
    fixtures from employees and outsiders.
   Liability insurance covers injuries that you cause to third parties. If
    someone sues you for personal injuries or property damage, the cost of
    defending and resolving the suit would be covered by your liability
    insurance policy. A general liability policy will cover you for common
    risks, including customer injuries on your premises.
   Errors and omissions ("E & O") insurance covers inadvertent mistakes or
    failures that cause injury to a third party. The act must actually be an
    inadvertent error, and not merely poor judgment or intentional acts. For
    example, an E & O policy would cover damages arising from an
    insurance agent failing to file policy applications, or a notary forgetting to
    fill out notarizations properly.
   Malpractice insurance, or professional liability insurance, pays for losses resulting
    from injuries to third parties when a professional's conduct falls below the
    profession's standard of care. For example, if a doctor makes a mistake that other
    doctors of his specialty would not have made, his patient might sue him. A
    malpractice policy will pay his defense costs and any judgment or settlement.
    Malpractice insurance is available for doctors, dentists, accountants, real estate
    agents, architects, and other professionals.
   Commercial automobile policies cover the cars, vans, trucks and trailers
    used in your business. The coverage will reimburse you if your vehicles
    are damaged or stolen or if the driver injures a person or property.
   This type of insurance is generally purchased by corporations and
    nonprofit organizations to cover the costs of lawsuits against
    directors and officers.
   Workers' compensation insurance covers you for an employee's on-the-
    job injuries. Businesses with employees are required by various state laws
    to carry some type of workers' compensation insurance. In most cases,
    workers' compensation laws prohibit the employee from bringing a
    negligence lawsuit against an employer for work-related injuries.
   Call us during office hours for any questions
    and to purchase any type of insurance for your
    business!
