Commercial Claims
Commercial Claims
When a business in South Florida purchases a Commercial Insurance Policy, that business person is expecting to transfer their risk to an insurance company in exchange for a premium. Being written on 3 different forms (basic, broad, and special), the commercial insurance policy can be a little confusing since each policy is not issued as a package like a homeowners insurance policy The first thing the claims adjuster will do upon your notification of a claim is to make certain that the appropriate coverage is part of the policy you purchased. There can be problems if the policy was not written correctly.
Co- Insurance
Co- Insurance
When insuring commercial property on a basic or broad form, the property covered must be insured for at least 80% of the replacement cost and at least 90% on the special form. Not having the proper co-insurance on the insured property will result in the claim payment being reduced by the % of the shortage.
Signs
Signs
Most Business Owners Policies have a sublimit on outdoor signs of about $2500. If the business owner has a free standing sign on a pole, these signs can be much more than $2500. Make sure your agent endorses your policy to accommodate the replacement cost of the sign.
