Types of Commercial Insurance Your Business May Need

Your Small Business

Your small business runs the risk of a number of disasters, accidents, and calamities occurring. This is what makes it so vital to have multiple types of commercial insurance in place. If your business isn’t insured as well as it could be, give us a call at Dern & Company in Milwaukee, WI to talk to an insurance agent. 

Commercial Property Insurance

This insurance type covers the building that your company works out of against a number of catastrophes. Generally, they also cover important pieces of company property inside the building. Even if the area that your business works from is a home office or a garage, it’s still a good idea to have commercial property insurance in that area. 

Commercial Auto Insurance

Any vehicles that the business owns should have its own commercial auto policy. These policies can also cover vehicles that you privately own but that are used for business reasons. Most of the time, a regular auto policy won’t cover vehicles that are mostly used for business. 

Liability Insurance

Every business needs liability insurance. This covers your company should it face a lawsuit for negligence. In the event of a suit, this insurance type can cover damages if you lose as well as legal expenses and the medical expenses of people who are hurt by something your business has done. There are many different types of liability insurance, and your specific business should have the types that cover the way it does business. 

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

This kind of insurance covers the company in case of an accident, injury, or illness that occurs to employees while at work. It also covers the lost wages of the injured party should they have to miss work due to an accident or illness at work.
