There Is Insurance for (Almost) Everything

 
Picture
Most business owners buy commercial insurance to cover fire, theft, and certain liability risks.  However, did you know there are many unique insurance products that can also protect your business?  Your business insurance should be able to respond to almost all the activities in which you are involved, but if you are not properly insured, it may not.  Therefore, we thought we would explain several business coverage’s you may not have considered.

Unique Kinds of Business Insurance

Political Risk Insurance--The world is becoming a very dangerous place, so there is coverage for business owners and executives who travel to foreign countries.  Kidnap and ransom coverage can protect your executives in case of an unforeseen event.
Giving Advice--Do you or your employees give advice to your customers?  If so, you may need Professional Liability Insurance.
Foreign Liability--If you export products to a foreign county, your business is at risk of a product liability claim if the products cause an injury or loss.
Loss of Value--If you rely on your voice or other talent to produce income, you can buy insurance to cover yourself in the event you are unable to perform.
Environmental--Environmental insurance is there to protect humans and physical assets from the effects of pollution exposure, so you can carry on running your business without worrying about major oil spills or other catastrophic events.
Chicken insurance--Many people insure their pets, but you can also buy coverage to insure your chickens or other animals.
Tax opinion insurance--Acquisitions, reorganizations, mergers, or other changes of ownership can present complicated tax problems.  Tax insurance protects the business in the event the transaction produces a larger than expected tax liability. 

Strive Insurance Group, Inc. is a full-service independent insurance agency that has been serving the insurance needs of the Dallas area since 1984 (formerly Gordon Lund Insurance).

What Kind of insurance Do You Really Need When Renting A Car?

 
Picture
More rental cars will be rented between June and September than any other time of the year. When you get to the car rental desk, you are asked the question, “Do you want the insurance?” Too many travelers do not know if they need additional coverage or not, and buying the rental car insurance can add hundreds of dollars to your bill. Auto insurance policies differ, but the most important thing is to make sure that you are covered.  

Collison Damage Waiver

When you are determining whether to purchase a damage waiver, there are two key considerations: (1) whether you are already covered by existing insurance and, if not, (2) if the benefit of having a damage waiver is worth the cost. The CDW is sold by the rental car company and only applies to rented vehicles. This limits the rental car company from attempting to collect (from you) for any damage to the rented vehicle

We recommend that you call our office to verify that you have the correct coverage.
Rental Car Insurance
  1. Always check your current auto insurance policy before you rent a car, to see what coverage you may already have that extends to a rental car.
  2. If you carry comprehensive and liability coverage on your personal car, coverage will extend to your rental car. Usually, if you’re renting a car of similar value to your personal car, in all likelihood the insurance coverage will be adequate for the rental.
  3. If you're not currently insured with an auto policy, you'll need to at least buy coverage from the rental company before you hit the road.
  4. Auto liability limit requirement may vary from state to state; if you buy minimum limits of coverage you may not have enough coverage in the state in which you rent your vehicle.
  5. If you are only insured under a commercial auto policy, you will want to purchase the extra coverage.
  6. If you are driving abroad (apart from Canada), your current car insurance won't cover you.
  7. Some major credit cards also offer rental car insurance options and solutions.
  8. If you want to protect your personal auto insurance policy from further claims, then buying the extra coverage may make sense. 
​​We believe in giving back to our local community and supporting our local non-profit businesses that make other people’s lives better.  Our agency and employees try to give back to these communities whether it be the local YMCA or helping raise funds for bikes for underprivileged children.

Cyber Liability Continues To Be An Emerging Risk

 
Picture
Cyber Liability continues to be a major issue for businesses in 2018. In today’s data-driven social media world, businesses of all sizes have had a cyber-attack or data breach. Statistics show 39% of all cyber incidents affect businesses with fewer than 100 employees. With the recent breaches in the financial and hospital industries, many businesses are considering cyber insurance.

Emerging Cyber Trends
  • With more companies beginning to store information on the “cloud” there will be more universal breaches causing greater losses.
  • Cyber Liability insurance is a real option providing value added coverage and services.
  • Industries most exposed are; healthcare, medical, retail, financial institutions, technology and hospitality,
  • Cyber recovery costs are rising, even with new technology.
  • Individual states will be beefing up mandatory reporting laws and imposing fines for lack of reporting.
  • New technologies will allow cyber-attacks to come through smart phones and tablets.
  • Small businesses may be the most prone, as they have the least protection.
Cyber liability coverage (for data breaches) has evolved from just insurance for information technology companies to coverage that nearly every kind of business should have - if they don't already. From retailers, banks, contractors, distributors, restaurants and medical offices, many businesses are unaware of the severe data breach exposure they face. In short, any business not making an effort to protect personal private information is seriously out of step with the emerging landscape of privacy law. We can provide your firm with the right combination of pricing and coverage.
