Farmers agents are small business owners, too, and understand how an unexpected event can hurt your practice’s ability to function. They serve as a knowledgeable resource when you’re choosing the coverage you want — and can give support if you need to file a claim.
Here are just some options you can include in a customized Farmers policy to help minimize disruptions:
Property damage
Risk:
An employee forgets to turn off an old coffeemaker, starting a fire in your back office.
Coverage:
Business property insurance can help pay for damages to your office and its contents — including valuable equipment and important business records — in the case of an unforeseen disaster.
Injuries
Risk:
A child trips on frayed carpet in your waiting room and topples into the corner of a coffee table.
Coverage:
Business liability insurance helps cover expenses when you’re liable for injuries sustained by clients or patients on your premises.
Employee injuries
Risk:
An employee’s back is injured when he attempts to lift a heavy box of supplies.
Coverage:
Workers’ compensation insurance helps cover employee-related medical costs that result from job-related incidents. It also helps insulate your practice against related lawsuits brought by current or former employees.
Theft
Risk:
You arrive at the office to find the door is unlocked, your medicine cabinet has been raided, and several computers are missing. You suspect one of your employees.
Coverage:
Business crime insurance can help offset losses resulting from robberies or employee fraud, forgery or theft.
