Insuring a Property: Site Pollution Liability

As the United States recovers from the economic crisis over the last few years, we are once again seeing growth in the acquisition and transfer of properties. The issues that arise from the sale or purchase of these properties at times can be a Pandora's Box.

Key Points To Consider When Selecting Drivers For A Non Emergency Transportation Company

A common point of frustration I hear from owners of Non Emergency Transportation companies is that they put the safety and wellness of their clients in the hands of drivers for whom they have virtually no direct oversight when they are on the road. Oftentimes, owners have no idea that they have a bad driver working for them until something terrible happens, by which time it's too late.
Even good drivers can get into trouble if they don't have any industry experience. Consider the fact that drivers are required to move swiftly through congested areas, oftentimes with deadlines that, if missed, can result in fines.
Their passengers are medically fragile, and just one small fender-bender can be enough to cause significant trauma, or even death. Wheelchairs, are notoriously unstable, especially if they are not properly weighted, and significant injury can occur if they fall over.
For these reasons, many insurance carriers have established minimum eligibility criteria for drivers. These guidelines, although by no means fool proof, do help to eliminate some potentially costly drivers from your hiring pool. Here they are.

Solar Contractors and Their Flood of Risks That Are Recently Coming to Light

With the advent of Renewable Energy Credits being offered to those that use renewable energy systems there has been an increase in the amount of solar systems that are being installed for both commercial and private use around the United States. Everyone feels great about going green and having a tax incentive does not hurt either. There of course has to be contractors that need to fill this need with installations of solar arrays. These contractors have traditionally come from other backgrounds as there typically was never a standard trade for Solar Installation in the construction realm. Artisan Contractors such as Electricians, Plumbers and even Roofers have begun making the move to solar contracting in order to cash in on the free flow of green that is coming down the pipeline. The problem is in the combination of risks that these mixing of traditional trades have created and it is throwing the insurance companies and insurance agencies a curve ball. If the contractors are not careful, the solar contractor can be misclassified by an insurance agent that does not have the necessary experience to understand the large range of risks that solar contractors are now facing. Solar contractors luckily have not been lumped in the highest order of risk by most insurance companies. Roofers by comparison are thought of as being a riskier group. Solar contractors however, do create claims and here we will dive into some of the types of claims along with the insurance types that are created for them.
