WHAT INLAND MARINE CAN DO FOR YOUR BUSINESS

No matter what business you are in, an accident can happen at any time. That is why it is important to have an Inland Marine policy from Greater Pittsburgh Insurance Consultants, Inc. to provide your business with the appropriate coverage it needs during transit.

Since Inland Marine covers items outside of your standard Business Property Insurance policy, having additional coverage to keep your equipment insured off-site is critical.

Contact an Inland Marine specialist at Greater Pittsburgh Insurance Consultants, Inc. today to find out how your business can insure its most valuable assets while working or traveling off-site.

In today’s litigious society, lawsuits against businesses are common. And as a business owner, you need to be prepared to protect the integrity of your company if an incident or mistake turns into a claim.

At Greater Pittsburgh Insurance Consultants, Inc., we understand that mistakes happen. That is why we are committed to helping you create a Professional Liability policy that keeps your day-to-day operations protected should your business be held legally liable.

WHAT DOES PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY COVER?

While it is important for your business to have general liability coverage for property damage and bodily injury, Greater Pittsburgh Insurance Consultants, Inc. recommends adding Professional Liability Insurance to your business portfolio because it insures the people and/or entities of your business from negligent claims made by third parties or even internal sources.

From failure to render a service to malpractice suits, Professional Liability can provide a wide variety of options, such as:

Errors and Omissions Liability (E & O) – E & O covers any mistakes made by employees who work on behalf of your business if your business charges fees for your services. It can include coverage for any errors such as failure to perform or violations of the contract. Depending on your industry, your insurance needs will vary.

Directors and Officers Liability (D & O) - Having financial protection for your business’ Directors and Officers can prevent loss in the event that they are held liable from actions related to their corporate positions. This can include anything from conflicts of interest to mismanagement of company assets and violation of laws.

Fiduciary Liability - Fiduciary covers claims that involve the violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA. If a manager, for example, violates the financial obligations of ERISA, having the right coverage can protect your company if held liable in situations from imprudent investments to failure to enroll employees.

Employment Practices Liability - With proper insurance, your business can be protected if a worker claims that his or her rights have been violated. This can include violations from sexual harassment and discrimination to violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), mismanagement of employee benefit plans, and wrongful termination.

Contact a representative with Greater Pittsburgh Insurance Consultants, Inc. today to prevent mistakes and errors from becoming major losses for your business.

Greater Pittsburgh Insurance Consultants, Inc. understands the value of good employees.

But should an accident happen, having the right Workers' Compensation plan from Greater Pittsburgh Insurance Consultants, Inc. can allow your business to ensure payments and cover expenses if an employee is injured from a work-related accident. Injuries can range from car accidents and back injuries to equipment malfunctions and, in some unfortunate cases, death.

Workers Compensation can cover financial obligations such as:

• An injured employee’s medical expenses/treatment
• The replacement of lost wages from injury time off

If your business does not offer Workers Compensation, serious injuries that occur on the job could lead to an employee suing your company for damages. That is why it is important to discuss your options with a specialist at Greater Pittsburgh Insurance Consultants, Inc. who can help you find the right coverage options for all your business needs.
