Commercial Insurace

Whether your farm is large or small, you’ll want to protect your investment with the right kind of farm insurance.

Standard coverages available under a farm policy include property damage coverage and liability coverage.

Property damage coverage protects your farmhouse, outbuildings or household belongings if they are damaged or destroyed by the unexpected consequences of a fire, hail storm or tornado .
Liability coverage pays for damages if you unintentionally cause injury to another person, or if you unintentionally cause another person’s property to be damaged or destroyed .

Farm machinery, crops, livestock– can all be insured in a number of different ways.

IF you have employees working on your farm, you may need to purchase workers’ compensation coverage . To be certain you obtain proper coverage and an accurate quote, you should have a list of all your employees, their titles and a description of the work they perform, as well as the number of hours they work and the wages they earn, with a summary reflecting the total number of employees and the total payroll .

More and more farmers are turning to agri-tourism. If your business includes these types of operations, make certain you have the appropriate type of insurance and the appropriate amount of liability coverage to protect you in the event someone becomes sick or injured while on your property .

If you operate businesses at your farm, including a farm stand, hayrides, pumpkin patches or corn mazes or you host events such as parties or weddings– you may need a business policy as opposed to a farmowners policy . If you sell particular products, such as jams, pies, fruits or vegetables, consider purchasing a policy to provide you with product liability coverage . The best way to be certain you have the proper insurance in place and to protect yourself against losses before they happen is to have your insurance agent walk around with you to inspect it and discuss in detail your farm operations .

Remember it is important to conduct periodic self-assessments to evaluate any safety risks. Your insurance agent can help provide the professional resources to help you assess risk.

Being your own boss, running your own business can be both liberating and profitable. That’s why business insurance is so important. Knowing the best way to insure your business will help save time, money, and headaches. At Peter B. Crilly and Associates, we’re here to help explain what is covered in a business insurance policy. One type of business insurance you’ll want to know more about is called Product liability Insurance.

You may work hard for many years to build your company into something special. However, it can all be brought down with one error or mistake from one of your employees or suppliers. You are responsible for the actions of your staff and business associates and here are some examples:

1) A catering business worker is running short on time and fails to wash the fruit and vegetables included in an appetizer tray. As a result, several people become ill and are hospitalized.

2) A worker at a construction site tries to save money by using cheaper materials, and the porch they have built collapses when stressed with too much weight.

3). Equipment for a salad dressing company malfunctions and mixes in a peanut product into the ingredients not included on the labeling, resulting in an allergic reaction experienced by several consumers.

Product liability and product liability insurance covers three basic issues:

Defective products
Defective design
Failure to provide adequate product warnings to users

Without product liability coverage, the business owner could be sued for millions of dollars in damages, including medical expenses and lost wages. If you manufacture, distribute, supply, or sell products to the public, product liability coverage is extremely important.
