Commercial Umbrella Liability

Commercial Umbrella Liability policies are written as a supplement to commercial general liability insurance policy and will pick up where a commercial general liability insurance policy ends. The umbrella policy increases the amount of coverage available so that, if the commercial general liability insurance falls short of the amount of actual loss (claim), the commercial umbrella coverage will take care of the rest up to the limit purchased. It will also cover some losses not covered by the commercial general liability policy such as slander and defamation of character.

Errors & Omissions

Errors & Omissions (E&O) liability insurance protects professionals including accountants, architects, brokers, consultants, engineers & lawyers against claims arising from their actual, or perceived negligence, errors and mistakes in the performance of service for others.

Coverage is tailored to each watercraft insured! Insurance on your watercraft isn’t a requirement (unless a lender requires it), but it is still a wise choice.

Coverage may be purchased for your physical watercraft, equipment, and motor, but more important is the liability insurance which comes with a watercraft policy. This protects you in the event you are sued due to accidental property damage or bodily injury.

Condominiums/Life Lease

Condominiums are not the same as freehold dwellings, and of course this means the insurance for them must be different —including coverage for your improvements or renovations to your condo’s interior, and coverage for losses suffered by the condominium corporation as a whole.

Personal Umbrella Liability

What is personal umbrella liability? ‘Personal umbrella liability insurance’ is a policy you can purchase to give you added liability insurance above and beyond the limits you already have on your homeowners, auto, and watercraft personal insurance policies. This policy is designed to “kick-in” when the liability on other current policies has been exhausted. This policy can also respond to claims which are not covered by your regular home insurance policy, such as slander.

Cottages/Seasonal Home

Sometimes you just need to get away! We understand that, and know that you would never want anything to happen to your home away from home. Put your mind at ease with an insurance policy tailored just for your cottage or seasonal home.

Home Business

Home business insurance is something people often overlook. There are instances where an individual thought their business activities would be covered under their home insurance policy. Not only is this false, but your home-based business activities can void your home insurance. What kind of home-based business insurance do you need? The answer depends on what type of business you own.

Tenants

When you’re renting, insurance is for more than your personal belongings. Tenant’s insurance policies which protect your belongings as well as provide liability coverage to protect you should you be sued for accidental damage to others, or other’s property.
