Because natural disasters, cyber breaches and negligence claims can happen without warning, your company needs full and complete West Springfield business insurance protection. That's where our Independent Insurance Agents can help. Our local, experienced agents are well-trained and will listen to your concerns, answer your questions and assess your needs before comparing quotes from a variety of carriers. Liability insurance is as basic a coverage as you can get when it comes to protecting your small business. Liability coverage ensures you stay financial sound after a lawsuit for an injury or claim against your services. Talk to an agent about which liability policies make sense for your West Springfield business.

  • General Liability: The recent Travelers Business Risk Summary found that 60% of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and more than 30% said they felt the least prepared to handle this issue. But if a customer trips on the way out of your store or an employee wrecks a client's computer, general liability steps in and takes care of associated legal and medical costs.
  • Product Liability: Does your company sell, produce or manufacture a product? If so, you should have comprehensive liability coverage to protect you against lawsuits. According to a national study, 71% of product liability awards and 53% of medical malpractice awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more. Don't let a malfunction cause your small business serious financial damage.
  • Professional Liability: This protection, also known as errors and omissions, is built specifically for professionals who give advice to customers, whether it be about their finances, buildings or psyches. An agent can walk you through the details about how this policy comes into play.
