Property Insurance

Property Insurance covers the risk of loss to business property including commercial buildings, equipment, furniture, fixtures, inventories, business records, and supplies.

Property Insurance is capable of covering two types of property losses:

Direct losses may be covered when property is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed.
Indirect or consequential losses related to direct losses may also be covered.

At Stafford Insurance we have placed insurance on over $1 billion worth of property for our clients.

Commercial General Liability Insurance

Policies can provide coverage for liability arising out of:

Premises and Operations
Damage Legal Liability (damage to premises rented to insured)
Personal and Advertising Injury
Medical Payments
Products and Completed Operations

You may want to consider a Business Owners Policy, which combines your Liability, Property, and other types of coverage into one comprehensive policy. This can help you save time and money. You should also consider adding extra liability protection in the form of a Commercial Umbrella Policy. We can tell you more about these plans and if they make sense for you.

Business Auto Insurance

Business Auto coverage insures vehicles that are owned, leased, hired or borrowed by businesses, whether they are associations, corporations, partnerships or sole proprietorships. Business Auto coverage may be used to insure private passenger autos and all types of trucks, trailers, semi-trailers and commercial vehicles designed for use on public roads. We will provide you with more details about specific coverages and deductibles and assist you in tailoring a Business Auto plan that’s right for you and your business.

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ Compensation coverage applies to bodily injury and diseases arising out of and in the course of employment. Coverage is statutory for each state and also covers death resulting from the accident.

Workers’ Compensation provides for the payment of four types of benefits:

Medical benefits
Income benefits
Death benefits
Rehabilitation benefits

Stafford Insurance will provide you with complete details on Workers’ Compensation Insurance and recommend cost-effective ways to control expenses through safety engineering and claim services.

Q: What is the difference between 'Named Insured', 'First Named Insured' and 'Additional Insured'?

A:

Named Insureds are those listed by name in the relevant block of the policy’s declaration page. Although the named insured is commonly one person, partnership, corporation or other entity with insurable interests, multiple named insureds may be included.

First Named Insured is the first “named insured” listed on the policy declarations (front page of the policy). This insured acts as the legal agent for all named insureds in initiating cancellation, requesting policy changes or accepting any return premiums. The first named insured may also be responsible for payment of the premiums.

Additional Insured is an entity to which a policy’s coverage is extended. An additional insured must be added to the policy prior to a claim being paid. There must be a tied to the relationship between the additional insured and named insured. Being an additional insured on another’s policy does not eliminate the need for someone to have his/her own Commercial General Liability policy.
