Builder’s risk insurance covers buildings under construction or renovation. It helps protect materials, equipment, and structures from losses caused by fire, theft, vandalism, weather events, and other covered risks during the project.
Product liability insurance protects businesses if products they manufacture, distribute, or sell cause bodily injury or property damage. It can cover legal defence costs and settlements related to product claims.
Also known as errors and omissions insurance, this coverage protects your business if a client alleges a mistake, oversight, or failure in your professional services, including claims related to negligence, misrepresentation, or inaccurate advice.
Whether you operate an office, construction site, or warehouse, having insurance that covers the building is essential. It helps protect against claims related to fire, water damage, earthquakes, and more.
Business interruption insurance is a coverage that replaces lost income if your operations are temporarily shut down due to an insured loss. It can cover expenses like payroll, rent, utilities, and relocation costs for a period of time while your business recovers.
Commercial umbrella insurance provides extra liability protection beyond your standard policies. It increases coverage limits for claims specifically involving third-party bodily injury or property damage when primary limits are reached.
Employment practices liability insurance protects businesses from claims like wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. It helps cover legal fees, settlements, and damages arising from employee-related allegations.
