When looking for reliable and affordable liability insurance, there are many questions that you should ask in order to make sure that you are getting the right policy for the right price.
Liability insurance can be customized to meet your company’s specific needs, so no matter which industry your business belongs to, here are the questions you should be asking:
Which Type or Types of Commercial Insurance Do I Need?
From property liability, which protects your physical assets (building, equipment, etc.) to professional liability insurance, which protects you from potential negligence claims or allegations, there are a lot of different coverages to choose from.
Your commercial insurance agent should be well-versed in the different types of coverage available, and they should understand which types apply to your business. Make sure you are only being offered and sold the types of coverage that your business needs to protect itself.
What are the Limitations in Coverage?
Make sure your agent spells out precisely what is covered under each type of plan and what the limitations of the payouts are. You want to make sure that you are fully covered should something go wrong. Make sure to check these limits:
- Aggregate limit: how much a plan will pay out for the entire year.
- Occurrence limit: the maximum that a plan will pay for each individual claim.
Your insurance coverage should fully cover your business based on your assets and particular line of work.
