as other significant losses, for your home business. If you have a
home based business consider contacting us to discuss proper coverage
options that offer both protection and affordability. |
|
|
Ordinance or Law Coverage
- one
of the most needed types of coverage is also one of the most commonly overlooked, or even known about, by consumers.
It's called Ordinance or Law Coverage. As your building becomes
older certain changes in your county's building codes and ordinance
change to reflect new standards for construction. If your older
property suffers a substantial loss, fixing it may require a higher
construction standard to reflect new laws, therefore simply replacing
your property as it was just isn't good enough to meet these new laws
and codes. Ordinance or law coverage pays for these upgrades in
building standards. |
|
|
Special Event Coverage
- provides third party liability coverage for a short term
special event. |
