you in your claims handling. Your experience modification
factor is directly impacted by your claims activity and
has a direct impact on your premium.
Commercial Package Analysis There are any number of ways to tailor a policy. There
simply isn’t one standard way to do it. We want to
know what you do. What are the nuances in your business?
What are your real exposures? What would you do in the
event of a loss? Are you shipping your product on your
own trucks or do you use common carrier? What are your
liability exposures?
Putting a policy together requires a great deal of technical
expertise and experience. For example: to just insure
a building today
is not that simple. Building codes are changing daily.
A building
built in 1960 could not be built today. Policies need to
be structured so that there will be coverage for changes
in the building code, demolition and the cost to rebuild
undamaged portions of a building.
Did you know that if an insurance company determines that
your building was underinsured at the time of loss they
can impose a penalty? Did you know that if you have more
than one location on a policy you can combine the values
to create more coverage?
The Bottom Line
Business today is inherent with problems and there is
no question that claims are going to happen. The nature
of insurance requires that we put ourselves in the best
position possible to provide you with the broadest coverage
available, with responsive, financially sound insurance
companies.
