General Liability Insurance

General Liability Insurance is a cornerstone of business protection, primarily consisting of liability coverages that safeguard your business against injury or damage claims made by third parties.

Our insurance policies protect your business from liability claims that stem from: 

• Premises and Operations –Coverage for bodily injury or property damage that arises from your daily business operations.
• Fire Damage Liability – Protection for damage by fire to premises rented by the insured party.
• Personal and Advertising Injury –Covers claims related to libel, slander, invasion of privacy, copyright infringement, and advertising misrepresentation.
• Medical Payments –This pays for immediate medical expenses related to an injury occurring on your business premises.
• Products/Completed Operations – This covers liability for injuries or damages caused by your products or business operations after the product has been sold or the operation is completed. 

To further simplify your business insurance, consider a Business Owners Package. This comprehensive policy combines Liability, Property, and other types of coverage, saving you time and potentially reducing the overall cost of your insurance program. 

In today’s litigious society, lawsuits can quickly escalate into the million-dollar range. To protect your business against such severe financial consequences, you may want to add extra liability protection in the form of a Commercial Umbrella Policy. We can discuss these plans with you and determine whether they’re a good fit for your business.

Workers Compensation Insurance

In addition to General Liability Insurance, Workers Compensation Insurance is a must for any business. It covers medical costs and a portion of lost wages for employees who become injured or ill on the job. It’s not just good business sense—it’s the law in many states, including North Carolina. Workers comp remains mandatory by law in most situations to protect employees who suffer work-related injuries.

Our workers compensation insurance in NC covers:

• Medical treatment and emergency care
• Lost wages during recovery
• Rehabilitation and return-to-work programs
• The insurance provides death benefits and disability payments to workers or their families

Our insurance agency assists businesses in maintaining North Carolina Industrial Commission compliance while safeguarding both their workforce and operations.
