Review at renewal and before changing operations, hiring staff, buying equipment, opening a location, signing a new contract or adding services. Tell your licensed professional about significant changes rather than assuming the existing policy automatically extends.

What should I do after a loss or potential claim?

Accepted Answer

Protect people first, contact emergency services when necessary and take reasonable steps to prevent further damage if safe. Document the event and promptly follow the policy's reporting instructions. Avoid promises of payment or admissions of liability; the insurer determines coverage under the policy.
