YouÕve Made It Your Living. Keep It Protected.
There are probably a lot of reasons for why you chose to make your living on the farm Ð from the independence and freedom that comes with owning your own business to knowing the value of a hard dayÕs work.

The basic package includes property coverage for your dwelling, personal property, and other structures, as well as the added peace of mind that comes with comprehensive liability coverage.

Dwelling
For most people, a farm is more than a place to work Ð itÕs also where you lay your head after a long day. Under the dwelling portion of your Farm Owners policy, Luczkowski Agency Insurance and Financial Services will help pay for damages to your home and any attached structures for all accidents and perils included in your policy.

Personal Property
Your Farm Owners policy also covers losses that may arise due to the damage or theft of personal belongings such as clothing, electronics, or home appliances. Items used in daily farm operations such as machinery, automobiles, and animals are not eligible for coverage under the personal property section of your policy, as they require additional protection.

Liability

Further coverage options, including employee injury liability, are available for an additional premium.

Errors and Omissions Insurance

Errors and omissions refer to mistakes, negligence, or discrepancies in a businessÕs accounting records, which can possibly be interpreted as fraud and lead to legal action. Business owners and executives have several legal and financial responsibilities that accompany their roles, and if they fail to fulfill these responsibilities by inaccurately reporting income, errors and omissions insurance will reimburse a business for problems arising from these fiduciary oversights.

As a business owner, you know how important it is to live up to your promises. Consumer trust is a key part of earning repeat business, which in turn helps to create a stronger, healthier, and more profitable company.

Errors and omissions claims have been trending higher in recent years, with multiple‰ÛÔmillion dollar lawsuits being filed more frequently than ever before. Accordingly, most businesses need to have appropriate coverage amounts to be sure they’re protected if a large claim is filed.

What E&O Insurance Covers
Policies can vary, but most forms of errors and omissions insurance cover the following. Note that some industries don’t need all of the coverage mentioned below, while others may need additional coverage because of the nature of their operations. Luczkowski Agency Insurance and Financial Services agents will help you determine which coverages are best for you.

Claims and Damages: These are one of the major sources of potential loss that your company faces. E&O protection on claims can reimburse you for any payouts you may have to make as a result of such claims being filed.
Defense Costs: Whether or not you win a case, your attorney is going to expect payment. E&O insurance can reimburse you for their fees, allowing you to hire professional support without worrying that it will be too expensive for you to afford.
Employees, Temporary Staff, and Independent Contractors: You may be liable for the actions that anyone associated with your business takesÑwhether or not they’re an employee. This part of the policy protects you if they make a mistake.
Negligence: Often considered one of the most important parts of E&O coverage, negligence coverage can reimburse you for problems like making a mistake while giving advice or failing to complete a job. Whatever the cause of the problem, ensuring you’re covered will help protect your business if something goes wrong.
Errors and omissions policies payouts vary among companies depending on the possible severity of financial mishaps. If you’re not sure how much of a cap your business should have in each category, call one of Luczkowski Agency Insurance and Financial Services agents today and ask them for more information. You may need to increase your policy cap as your business grows, and we can help you decide when it’s time to raise the limit.

Transportation Insurance

Transportation Insurance in Chesterland, Oh and surrounding areas
Transportation insurance covers a wide array of business transportation needs. If you are in the transportation business, you understand the importance of having your vehicles in running condition and protecting yourself from losses caused by accidents and natural disasters. While some companies are in the transportation business, transportation is, for others, only a part of the overall picture of the business. Even companies with minimal transportation needs should invest in insuring both the goods they convey and the means of that conveyance.

Transportation Policy Features
Whether you ship goods by road, air, or sea, or are in the towing business, you need insurance for unexpected events that create problems for your business. The goods you transport could get damaged despite your efforts to pack them properly. Your vehicle could be involved in an accident through no fault of your own. And while the vehicle itself may be insured, that does not guarantee the contentsÑor materials you are shippingÑare covered.

So whether you have a fleet of vehicles or just one truck you use to haul items as a part of the whole business, the principle is the same. Adequate insurance allows you to continue business as usual if something bad happens.

Contact our office today and find out what we can do to help you with your transportation insurance needs. If you are an existing customer, we can review your policy to make sure you have complete coverage and your coverage is up to date. If you are a new customer, Luczkowski Agency Insurance and Financial Services can provide the transportation insurance coverage you need to protect your business.

Commercial Umbrella Insurance

Commercial Umbrella coverage is critical to your business

It’s in the news. You hear more and more about massive jury awards that result in a business’ financial ruin.

Most business owners never expect to encounter a loss that exceeds the limits of the coverage they have to manage accidents, mistakes and injuries—also known as liability insurance—but unfortunately in today’s business environment, it happens too often.

A large loss could impact the business success you’ve worked so hard to achieve and destroy your hopes for a bright future. 

Jason Bentley Agency can help you protect the assets you have today by providing added coverage where you need it most. We can help you build a tailored insurance solution that meets the specific needs of your business.

All businesses are vulnerable

No matter the size of your company or how well it’s run, your business faces the potential of a devastating claim arising from an unforeseen event. For example, let’s say you own a retail store or apartment building, and a customer trips on the carpet and hits his head, sustaining serious brain injury.

You could be potentially liable for millions of dollars in medical and other payments.

Would that entire sum be covered by your existing business liability insurance? Could your business savings and/or revenue make up for the difference in what’s not covered?

If your answer is no, that’s where Commercial Umbrella Coverage comes in. Umbrella Coverage goes above and beyond basic business liability insurance limits, offering up to $10 million of additional funds to manage situations just like this.

If you are a small business owner, you might think they can’t take what you don’t have. Think again—a court can seize the business assets you currently have and even allocate future earnings to satisfy a judgment against you.

It’s never too soon to invest in umbrella coverage.

Do you know if your current coverage offers you the protection that you want for your business against major catastrophic events?
