If your business involves more than just loading/unloading cargo or you are delivering cargo, you need to consider a specialized Inland Marine Policy that will cover all the goods you transfer from port to destination.

Whether your firm operates company-owned or leased vehicles or employees use their vehicles on company business, you need to make sure your vehicle insurance policy is providing the coverage your company needs.

An OCP insurance policy is a unique, stand-alone policy that generally covers the named insured’s liability for bodily injury and/or property damage caused by an independent contractor’s work for another party.

It’s a complicated subject, but if independent contractors are performing work on your property for a third party, you need to consult with the experts at John B. Wright for an explanation and discussion of the subject.

With your business insured why choose an Umbrella Insurance Policy?

Umbrella insurance is liability insurance. It protects you when you need more liability coverage than what is provided in a normal insurance policy – Commercial Auto or General Liability, for instance.

As an example, your General Liability insurance may include up to $500,000 liability coverage. But what happens if you’re sued for something that happened to another party in your business and the costs associated with the lawsuit greatly exceed the coverage limits in your policy? Automobile policies always have liability coverage limits – how can you protect your business or assets if a successful claim greatly exceeds those limits?

The answer, of course, is an umbrella policy. They’re relatively inexpensive and are tailored to kick-in when the liability coverage limits of any other policies are exceeded.

Workers Comp insurance is a fact of life if you have employees. It’s a type of insurance that protects employees in the event of a job-related injury. Because rules vary from time to time as do the number of employees you employ, it’s a good idea to periodically review your potential risks and coverage and see what pro-active steps you might be able to take to minimize cost.

The problem with employee dishonesty insurance is that most firms that trust their employees and don’t buy it. The irony is that only trusted employees are able to get away with the crime. The unfortunate result is that most employee dishonesty claims nationwide are underinsured. We can help you. Contact us about employee dishonesty insurance.
