We've Got You Covered with Coverage You Need

Commercial Auto

Your personal auto insurance is not enough, you'll also need auto insurance that protects the interests of your business. Commercial Auto insurance provides financial protection against physical damage and liability that could occur as a result of an incident involving a vehicle used for business purposes.

Inland Marine

Inland Marine insurance protects goods and equipment that are being transported on land or while they are being stored temporarily in a warehouse. It covers losses that could occur while the property is in transit.

Workers Compensation

Workers Compensation is a state-mandated insurance that will provide medical and/or rehabilitation expenses including payment for lost wages to employees who get sick or injured due to job-related causes. It is a no-fault claim in that the insurance will provide coverage regardless of who is at fault when an incident happens.

General Liability

General Liability insurance provides protection to your business for "general" claims which involve bodily injuries, personal injuries, property damages, and lawsuits involving these claims. It is the first policy that you should purchase as it has all the benefits of protecting your business from what could end up destroying it if you're uninsured.
