Insuring your condo means affordable protection for your unit’s interior, your personal property, and yourself.

WHAT IS CONDOMINIUM INSURANCE?
Condo insurance is specifically designed for those who live in a unit structure owned and insured by a separate association. These associations employ master insurance policies that usually cover only the external structure of the unit. With condo insurance, you can protect the interior along with all your valuables.

Our insurance partners offer these benefits when you insure your condo:

• Coverage for damage to personal property such as furniture, electronic equipment, and clothing.
• Liability protection in the event that someone makes a claim against you for injuries or damage sustained in your condo.
• Coverage for interior walls and floor coverings.
• Coverage for improvements or upgrades you make to the condo that aren’t covered by the master insurance policy.

KEEP YOUR CONDO SAFE
The same way homeowner’s insurance protects you from liability and personal property damage in your home, condo insurance protects you in all the ways that most unit association’s insurance policies don’t. If you and your condo’s interior aren’t covered, talk to one of our agents today to get started on your policy.

Without the added protection, you could run into serious issues that might make you and your business look bad.

This type of insurance, or EPLI, is made for employers to protect them against allegations made by employees that could potentially harm the business. EPLI is more beneficial in newer businesses who are often vulnerable against employment claims, but can be used for large companies as well. In some cases, EPLI can be offered as an endorsement to a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) and a General Liability Policy (GL).

OFFERS COVERAGE FOR WRONGFUL CLAIMS SUCH AS:

• Employee Discrimination
• Wrongful Termination
• Harassment
• Other employment-related issues

WHY YOU NEED EPLI INSURANCE
When hiring people from the public, you are never going to be 100% about your future employee. Although they seem harmless, they could potentially be a risk to your business if something were to go wrong. To avoid any hazardous employment lawsuit, make sure you and your business are covered with EPLI Insurance.
