Tips on Spotting Workers' Comp Fraud

Tips on Spotting Workers’ Comp Fraud

Spotting the red flags that indicate possible workers’ compensation fraud by employees is the best way to prevent fraud from occurring. Knowing how to spot the red flags is a proactive way to nip a potentially costly but false workers’ compensation claim before it begins.

Most instances of workers’ compensation fraud occur when the claimant:

  • Deliberately falsifies information about how an injury occurred, such as claiming the injury was work-related when it was not,
  • Deliberately amplifies the seriousness of an injury to falsely prolong the claim, or
  • Deliberately continues to collect entitlements while working on the sly for their own purposes or with another employer.

Common Signs of Workers’ Compensation Fraud

  • Lack of witnesses – The majority of people claiming false work-related injuries usually do not have witnesses to support their claim. Vigilance is especially necessary when the employee normally works with other co-workers who should have witnessed the injury but did not.
  • Contradictory accounts of how the injury occurred – This can be particularly blatant when any of the doctor’s, employer’s, or witnesses’ reports contradict the employee’s report of the incident. Another red flag should be raised when the employee is deliberately vague about how the injury occurred.
  • Dissatisfied employees – Unhappy employees can be motivated to make a false workers’ compensation claim, especially if a recent incident such as a reprimand, changed responsibilities, or a possible demotion has occurred.
  • Time occurrence of the injury – Many false workers’ compensation claims are submitted before a potential strike, project conclusion, strike, or possible layoff. Many false claims also happen to be submitted on either a Friday or a Monday.
  • Inconsistent injury – The nature and extent of the injury is not consistent with their duties or type of job performed.
  • Inconsistent reporting procedures – Occurs when there is an inexplicable gap between when the injury occurred and when the employee reported the injury. Be alert if crucial injury data is absent, such as no definite time reported when the injury happened or if other vital dates are absent.
  • Lack of contact – The employee cannot be easily contacted by the claims rep or employer. Continuous lack of contact might be indicative the employee is working elsewhere while receiving ongoing entitlements. Another red flag should be raised when the employee immediately moves to another state or foreign destination after going on workers’ compensation.
  • Lack of cooperation – The employee deliberately delays or avoids medical treatment or medical diagnostics needed to clarify the medical condition of the employee’s alleged injury.
  • Physical signs – The employee exhibits physical signs of working such as dirt or grease on their hands or fingernails, work clothes that exhibit traces of work, or scrapes or bruises.
  • Newer employee – From a statistics vantage, new employees are more likely to commit workers’ compensation fraud than senior employees. The most proactive means to counter this is to carefully screen all new employees in the hiring process beforehand.

Although red flags can help minimize potential workers’ compensation losses from fraud, your best strategies to counter this problem should include:

1.   Implement a Zero Tolerance policy for workers’ compensation fraud and be sure your employees know about it.

2.   Take a hands on approach with all workers’ compensation claims and become especially vigilant when red flags appear.

3.   Keep in regular communication with your injured employee.

4.   Have a consistent new employee screening process. Offer new employees a thorough orientation and communicate a comprehensive explanation of the workers’ compensation process along with the employee’s rights and responsibilities.

Fraudulent workers’ compensation claims are a severe drag on the costs of any business. By being aware of how to spot potential problems and being proactive at the outset can help you reduce workers’ compensation fraud in the workplace.

Understanding the Purpose of Certificates Of Insurance

Understanding the Purpose of Certificates Of Insurance

When stores lease real estate spaces or construction firms win jobs, the party on the other end usually has a very specific set of requirements.  

One of the main requirements is that the tenant, contractor or borrower show proof that he or she has adequate insurance.  

Copies of insurance documents may be sufficient. But, not all companies want copies of documents sitting around.  

A very helpful substitute for document copies is a certificate of insurance.  How it works 

A certificate of insurance is a standardized document that will show:The typesof coverage the policyholder has purchasedThe effective and expiration dates of the policy, and The limits of liability coverage.  In short, it provides evidence that a company is insured. This item is simple to create and store. Unfortunately, not all firms and insurance buyers fully understand them.ACORD constructed the forms that are most commonly used. According to their instructions these certificates are intended for informational purposes.  

When some businesses receive these certificates, they think the items are contracts. But, the certificate is simply a snapshot of insurance provisions. It indicates that a policy exists, but it is not the document that actually provides coverage. The only document that actually provides coverage is the policy itself. When you need one 

Companies and individuals that hire contractors want to be certain that they will not be held liable for injuries, damages or substandard work. For this reason, they will frequently request to see a certificate of insurance. 

If your company has been contracted to do work and is asked for proof of insurance, we can provide you with a certificate of insurance if you have purchased coverage through us.  

Many businesses want these certificates to have specific terms, phrases or words. But agents have legal boundaries for such requests. The only way agents can add wording to a certificate is if the listed policies contain that wording. Changes are not always allowed.Many states prohibit agents from handing out certificates implying provisions that are not included in the policies.  

For example, a certificate holder may want the item to state that coverage is primary and noncontributory. However, policies that do not reflect such information cannot have certificates that indicate otherwise.  

Before you sign papers for leases or construction jobs, you should verify coverage requirements with us. 

Don’t be alarmed or taken off guard if a client requests the addition of their name or business as a certificate holder on your certificate.  

Oftentimes, this is easily accommodated, but you must submit a request to your insurance agent so that they can review and issue your certificate accordingly. Act now 

Don’t wait until a client asks you to provide evidence of business insurance coverage. You can be proactive and have your document ready.  

When working with a new client, the last thing you want is to hurt your company’s reputation and lose clients because you have not requested your insurance certificate in advance.

Get the Injured Worker Back on the Job the Right Way

Workers’ compensation premiums represent a major personnel expense for most organizations. Injuries that cause employees to miss work are especially costly, in terms of both lost wage compensation and lost productivity. Also, the longer a worker is disabled and unable to work, the more his future earning power decreases and the more likely it becomes that he will hire an attorney. For these reasons, it is advantageous to both employer and employee to get the injured worker back on the job as soon as possible. As a result, many employers have implemented return to work programs.

Under a return to work program, the injured employee performs a different job while receiving his prior level of pay. The new job should be matched to his current physical capability, reflecting his state of recovery from the injury. To succeed, this requires a good working relationship between the employer and treating physician. The employer needs accurate information as to the tasks the worker can safely perform; otherwise, the result may be a second, more severe injury. If the worker’s physician will not cooperate or provide a realistic estimate, the employer or insurance company may have to require a physical examination by an independent physician.

A return to work program should be one piece of a comprehensive and coordinated loss management program. The elements of the program should include:

* Immediate reporting and investigation of accidents

* Arrangement of primary medical care

* Return to work program

* Regular communications with the injured worker

To assist in the arrangement of primary care, the employer should provide the treating physician with job descriptions that explain each job’s physical tasks in detail. Meetings with the physician to explain the nature of the employer’s operation will help match a job to the worker’s capabilities. Communications between the physician and the employer are vitally important. The employer may want to arrange for direct reports from the physician or regular reports delivered by the employee. The ideal situation is one where the employee can assume light duties without missing any time. Barring that, limiting lost time to a week or two will still keep the claim’s cost down, resulting in premium savings for the employer. The experience modification formula, which adjusts the premium based on loss history, gives the most weight to losses of $5,000 or less. Getting the injured worker back on the job quickly will help keep the loss well under that limit. Since losses remain in the calculation for three years, the effect of holding down claim costs is long lasting.

Of course, return to work programs have pros and cons. The pros include:

* Limiting or eliminating lost work time

* Keeping the worker involved in the work environment

* Eliminating the need to locate, hire and train a replacement

* Increasing the chances of success should the worker refuse the new duties and sue for lost wage benefits, since the employer can show that it made a reasonable job offer

Among the cons are:

* The employer will pay the employee’s full wage for reduced productivity

* An employee with a bad attitude about his alternative duties could lower morale among the other employees

* If the alternative arrangement does not work out, returning the employee to lost wage benefits will wipe out any cost savings

While individual cases might not produce the desired results, employers should realize long-term savings by implementing return to work programs. Beyond the verifiable dollar savings, return to work programs can give the employer a more stable, happier workforce and a good reputation with potential employees.

Is Your Workers Compensation Plan a Pork Barrel for Would-be Scammers

BGES Insurance Fraud

Scamming “the man” can be a favorite pastime among some employees, and one of the best places to run a con is through your workers’ compensation plan.� If you aren’t vigilant, a good scam artist can perpetuate the fraud for a very long time.

The most common garden-variety type of workers’ comp fraud is the phony workplace injury that’s discovered later, when the employee is accidentally caught doing heavy lifting or seen working for another employer while collecting benefits.� Fraudulent claims can also occur when an employee complains of unseen ailments or extends the length of a legitimate claim because he doesn’t want to go back to work.

No matter what form it takes, everyone in the company feels the effects of workers’ comp fraud.� Other employees may have to put in more hours to compensate for the lost productivity, or an employer may have to decrease the percentage of annual raises because of higher workers’ comp premiums.

How can you evaluate the potential for workers’ comp fraud at your company? These are some signals that will alert you to a possible scam in the making:

�         If an employee has an accident shortly after arriving on Monday morning, this can be a sign of a scheme because the injury may have resulted from weekend activities.

�         If an injured worker refuses treatment from a doctor or physical therapist, it could be cause for concern.� Their reluctance to receive treatment could be an attempt to keep a phony injury from being discovered.

�         If a disgruntled employee or one who knows they are about to be laid off files a workers’ comp claim, it may be a ruse to get even with the employer.

Of course, while it is important to be alert to possible fraudulent claims, it is far more important to prevent them from happening in the first place.� According to theCoalition Against Insurance Fraud, there are several things you can do to combat workers’ comp fraud in your company:

�         Verify references and background information carefully.

�         Publicize your workers’ comp policy to all new and current employees, and provide them with updates at least once each year.

�         Spread the word that money paid for fraudulent claims comes out of the employer’s pocket, and can directly impact salary increases for employees.

�         Educate supervisors on workers’ comp issues, including how injuries decrease productivity and how costs affect the bottom line.

�         Display fraud awareness posters and the National Insurance Crime Bureau’s fraud hotline number.

�         Work with your insurer to implement a safety-management program that can eliminate possible safety problems.

�         Be aware of workers’ comp fraud indicators when a claim is made.

�         If you suspect a fraudulent claim and have evidence or witnesses to back up your suspicion, contact your insurer’s special investigations unit immediately.

�         Pay attention to employee complaints and concerns about their working conditions.� The strongest predictor of fraud is a chronically disgruntled work force.

The Holidays Have Their Own Workplace Perils

All year long you have been reminding your employees to “work safely … don’t take short cuts … prevent accidents.”

To do this they have to keep their minds on their work, but this time of the year as the holidays near, their minds might be everywhere else but on work.

They may be thinking “what to buy for everyone for Christmas – I hate shopping!” and “how will I pay for Christmas?” Meanwhile, relatives coming to stay add yet more distracting thoughts.

For some employees the holiday period is a wonderful time, and for others it is dreadful, but it is stressful for most anyone. Normal routines and schedules are disrupted, and there is a lot of rushing around the town to crowded and chaotic stores and malls.

Be aware that accidents may be more likely to happen at this time of the year at the workplace, on the road or at home. Employees tend to take extra physical risks ― such as when hanging lights and lugging trees around. 

And when roads and freeways are jammed, auto accidents increase.

In-office safety

When planning decorations for the office, it is important to keep holiday safety in mind.

Decorating the office helps workers enjoy the spirit of the season together, but remember that proper safety precautions should be observed at all times:

  • Be mindful of potential fire hazards when selecting holiday decorations and where you place them.
  • Be careful of stapling holiday lights, do not add too many strings of lights and make sure illuminated items are turned off.
  • Verify that all fire extinguishers are in place and fully charged and accessible.
  • Do not block exits, hang decorations on fire extinguishers, fire alarms or fire hose boxes, or obstruct the view of exit signs.
  • Do not hang decorations from sprinkler heads or electrical panels.
  • Without proper planning, holiday decorations can create tripping hazards. Extension cords should not be run through traffic areas where they pose trip hazards and, if you have to use an extension cord, use the proper one.
  • Avoid placing trees, freestanding decorations and presents in traffic areas.

Holiday party

The holidays bring office parties and, if alcohol is being served, keep in mind the liability involved.

Provide plenty of alternatives to alcohol, such as soft drinks, coffee, tea, water and cocoa. Consider non-alcoholic beers and virgin drinks at the bar.

Also, so your staff is safe on the way home, stop serving alcohol a few hours before the party ends.

It’s essential to make transportation arrangements for employees who should not drive – whether the party is held at the office, restaurant, your home or any other location.

The takeaway

If you keep in mind that the holidays put extra pressure on everyone, it may help you to keep your workplace free of accidents.

By following a few simple safety tips, it will be easy to enjoy the holiday and the events at work without dealing with injuries or damage to property.

When planning for the holidays, incorporate safety precautions into the planning process.

Need Gift Ideas for Your Christmas Party?

Give a gift of safety that just might save a life. Here are some ideas of safety items we don’t think about until we need them and/or it’s too late:

  • A smoke detector and batteries.
  • A quality fire extinguisher.
  • A flashlight and batteries, or light sticks.
  • A first aid kit.
  • An automobile safety kit including jumper cables, flares, fix-a-flat and reflectors.
  • A carbon monoxide detector.
  • An emergency kit flashlight, energy bars, batteries and first aid kit ― packed in a small travel bag.
  • A radio that runs by cranking rather than batteries.

Spotting the red flags that indicate possible workers’ compensation fraud by employees is the best way to prevent fraud from occurring. Knowing how to spot the red flags is a proactive way to nip a potentially costly but false workers’ compensation claim before it begins. 

Most instances of workers’ compensation fraud occur when the claimant:

  • Deliberately falsifies information about how an injury occurred, such as claiming the injury was work-related when it was not,
  • Deliberately amplifies the seriousness of an injury to falsely prolong the claim, or
  • Deliberately continues to collect entitlements while working on the sly for their own purposes or with another employer.

Common Signs of Workers’ Compensation Fraud

  • Lack of witnesses – The majority of people claiming false work-related injuries usually do not have witnesses to support their claim. Vigilance is especially necessary when the employee normally works with other co-workers who should have witnessed the injury but did not.                                                                                
  • Contradictory accounts of how the injury occurred – This can be particularly blatant when any of the doctor’s, employer’s, or witnesses’ reports contradict the employee’s report of the incident. Another red flag should be raised when the employee is deliberately vague about how the injury occurred.                                             
  • Dissatisfied employees – Unhappy employees can be motivated to make a false workers’ compensation claim, especially if a recent incident such as a reprimand, changed responsibilities, or a possible demotion has occurred.                                          
  • Time occurrence of the injury – Many false workers’ compensation claims are submitted before a potential strike, project conclusion, strike, or possible layoff. Many false claims also happen to be submitted on either a Friday or a Monday.                   
  • Inconsistent injury – The nature and extent of the injury is not consistent with their duties or type of job performed.                        
  • Inconsistent reporting procedures – Occurs when there is an inexplicable gap between when the injury occurred and when the employee reported the injury. Be alert if crucial injury data is absent, such as no definite time reported when the injury happened or if other vital dates are absent.                                                                
  • Lack of contact – The employee cannot be easily contacted by the claims rep or employer. Continuous lack of contact might be indicative the employee is working elsewhere while receiving ongoing entitlements. Another red flag should be raised when the employee immediately moves to another state or foreign destination after going on workers’ compensation.                                                                                         
  • Lack of cooperation – The employee deliberately delays or avoids medical treatment or medical diagnostics needed to clarify the medical condition of the employee’s alleged injury.                                                                                                     
  • Physical signs – The employee exhibits physical signs of working such as dirt or grease on their hands or fingernails, work clothes that exhibit traces of work, or scrapes or bruises.                                                                                                               
  • Newer employee – From a statistics vantage, new employees are more likely to commit workers’ compensation fraud than senior employees. The most proactive means to counter this is to carefully screen all new employees in the hiring process beforehand.

Although red flags can help minimize potential workers’ compensation losses from fraud, your best strategies to counter this problem should include:

Contractors – Is Your Liability Insurance with a Surplus Lines Company? Want Out?

Are you unhappy with your General Liability rates?  How about your Umbrella liability pricing?  Did it increase again this year?  Are your liability policies riddled with restrictions and exclusions? Are these restrictions and exclusions preventing you from getting work?

Well there may be help on its way!  Our agency specializes at construction insurance and has 50+ companies to market your account to.  A few of our companies, which are “Main Street Type Companies”, because of the volume and relationships we have, are quoting FOR US contractors they would not have considered these past few years.  For example, we just reduced a Queen’s contractor’s liability premium from $370,000 to $177,000.  That’s a $193,000 savings!  Got rid of a lot of exclusions and restrictions too!  Ask yourself–>

Questions:

  1. Is your liability insurance with a “Surplus & Excess Lines” insurance company?  Higher risk contractors end up insured through these type carriers.  Rates are higher, coverage is more restrictive.  We may now have a better solution for you.                                                                             
  2. Do you have a “Composite Rate” which uses “Sales” to determine premium?  Or is your policy pricing based on payroll and sub contracted costs?  Many prefer payroll and subcontracted costs.  If you are one of them we may be able to help you                                                                                                                                                             
  3. Do you have a “Labor Law” exclusion on your policy?   Would you like this coverage if affordable?                                                                                                                     
  4. Does your liability policies have a “Hammer Clause” that mandates your subs carry certain limits and coverage and have a written executed insurance and hold harmless agreement in place for each sub?   Would you like to eliminate “Hammer Clause” from your policy?                                                                                           
  5. Does your liability policy have a “Contractors Limitation” endorsement?  This endorsement restricts the type of work covered by your policy.  Would you like to avoid form being in your policy?                                                                                           
  6. Does your liability policy have “Contractual Liability?”  Do you sign customer contracts?  This is very important to know.                                                                                                 
  7. Are your policies preventing you from getting work?  How would you like policies that almost no one has a problem with?                                                                    
  8. Are your subs carrying the right insurance? How are you checking to make sure?  Would you like your insurance agency to help screen subs insurance?                                                                                                                                 
  9. Construction contracts you sign, who checks them to make sure you’re in compliance with their insurance requirements?  Is your insurance agency helping you? We can help.                                                                                                  
  10. Are you unhappy with your Workers’ Compensation pricing, company, service?  In the middle of an audit dispute and being told pay or be cancelled?  Work out of state weeks at a time but your plan doesn’t cover you when you do?  We have a great solution.  We may have a plan where you do not have to be audited every year.  It’s easy to get a quote.

There’s an end of the year push for business!  Let us try to get you out of your present coverage situation and hopefully better your plan!   If we can save a Queen’s contractor $193,000 we may be able to do something incredible for YOU!

Worker's Compensation Policy

Is It Ever Too Late for Life Insurance?

Many people think life insurance is only for the young. They believe that life insurance is a tool best used by newlyweds with mortgages, parents of young children, and spouses who are both employed. 

But what does that mean for seniors? Does that mean retirees have no need for life insurance? The answer to that question depends on your family’s needs as well as your financial picture upon retirement.

Your family’s needs

One of the biggest concerns among retirees whether or not they have enough money set aside to last their entire lives. 

Since life expectancies are predictable, but an actual lifespan is not, retirees are left with an uncertain bet that the amount of money they saved for retirement is enough. 

Sometimes, this bet is funded with a straight life annuity or pension that pays out like a straight life annuity. Both of these instruments could affect the surviving spouse’s income if the annuitant or pensioner dies and there is no death benefit. 

When a surviving spouse stands to lose a portion of their income after the death of their spouse, then a life insurance policy can provide a much needed source of continuing income to replace the lost amount.

Another consideration is whether or not you would like to use death benefit proceeds to create a trust for your grandchildren. Leaving a trust account for their college or adult years can help take some of the financial burden from your children and your grandchildren as it may allow them to avoid student loans and other debt. 

Funding the trust with life insurance proceeds takes the funding burden off of your spouse and creates a fixed amount for the trust.

Financial planning

Life insurance policies are great tools for making charitable donations after you pass on. 

If your spouse is not in need of the death benefit proceeds you can set them up either in a charitable trust or by simply naming a charity as your beneficiary. This allows your surviving spouse to see all the good your donation will do, without it impacting his or her financial picture.

Depending on how well-planned your retirement has been you may accumulate some debt in your later years that can be paid off with your life insurance policy death benefit.  

Debt as simple as a car loan, small home equity loan or even a loan for new furniture can cause undue stress to your surviving spouse and a life insurance death benefit is an easy solution to pay it off.

Another financial planning consideration is estate taxes. While life insurance death benefits are generally not taxable, the rest of your estate may be. 

Instead of forcing your surviving spouse to liquidate assets or take funds from a retirement account to pay estate taxes or income taxes for the year you pass away, why not buy a life insurance policy to fulfill that need?

The takeaway

There are so many different ways that a life insurance policy can improve your surviving spouse’s and family’s lives, no matter what your age. 

Without knowing what needs the future will bring, and what health complications could impact your ability to get insurance, the time to buy is now.

Contractors – Is Your Insurance Agency Getting You The Best Coverage and Pricing? If You Think They Are Not Working for You, We WILL! We are One of Tri-State’s Leading Construction Insurance Specialists and Have The Companies and Leverage to Get You Better, Sometime Much Better!

Issues To Consider:

  1. If you are a higher risk contractor there’s a good chance you have your general and umbrella liability policies thru a Surplus Lines carrier.  With these type carriers, their rates are very high and their policies have lots of restrictions and exclusions.   Many N.Y.C. contractors are with these companies.  Please note there are some agencies because of their expertise, relationships and volume, able to get high risk contractors insured with main street carriers.  What that means is better pricing and coverage without non standard exclusions and restrictions.  We happen to be THAT AGENCY!  For example, we just reduced a Queen’s contractors general and umbrella liability premiums from $370,000 to $177,000.  That’s a $193,000 savings!  Does your agency specialize at insuring contractors?  Do they have main street programs to try to get you into?  Do they market your account annually to try to get you better pricing and coverage?  Every year our marketing department analyses client’s accounts and if there’s better programs available we market their account to them.  We represent 50+ carriers!                                                                                
  2. Is your agency helping you screen subcontractors insurance? Most liability policies have tough insurance requirements when it comes to sub insurance.  If your subs have the wrong insurance and there’s a claim you can be without protection.  Want relief from this nightmare?  Our office has a dedicated department that screens client’s subs insurance.                                                                                     
  3. Is your agency helping with implementing proper risk transfer mechanisms?  Are you using a good “Insurance and Hold Harmless Agreement?” Do you obtain updated certificates?  Who screens subs insurance to make sure it covers your properly?   Most contractors DO NOT have a proper risk transfer in place.  They DO NOT have signed insurance and hold harmless agreements on file and their subs insurance is inferior.  Want help?  Come to us for that’s one of the things we can do for YOU!                                                                                                                               
  4. Does your insurance agency specialize at Bid & Performance Bonding?  If they are not a construction insurance specialist agency, probably not.  We are and one of tri-state’s leading bonding agencies too.  We have relationships with bonding companies that can get the job done when others can’t.  We have combined experience of over 80 years.  Try us we can make life easier for you.                                                                                  
  5. Does your insurance agency have 20+ Worker’s Compensation plans to get you coverage with? – Looking for lower rates, better coverage, better service, simplified or no audits (depends on state)? How about a pay as you go plan? THE RIGHT coverage while operating out of state, no renewal deposits, no 10% service fee charges, the ability to issue your own certificates on line?                                                                                                                                                     

Please note if you are in a state plan and operate out of state you could have a coverage problem.  For example, your office is in state A and you get a job in state B for 3 months.  If an employee gets injured and files claim in state B most likely you will be denied coverage.  We have a great solution!

Issues we address:

              1) Lowering rates

              2) Finding a new company

              3) Being cancelled or non-renewed

              4) Audit disputes

              5) Company creating fictitious payroll at audit time

              6) Lowering high experience modifications factors

              7) Misclassification of payrolls

              8) Lowering or eliminating renewal deposits

              9) Getting coverage when you’ve been without for a few months

           10) Covering multiple states under one policy 914-806-5853 for help!

           11) Eliminating 10% service or policy fees

           12) Timely issuance of certificates

  1. Does your insurance agency offer Group Health insurance? – We work with one of New York’s best group health insurance experts.  Unhappy with your rates?  Coverage design?  Service?  Need to deal with someone who has answers to your questions?  We have THE RIGHT person for you! Call for help today!                               
  2. Has your insurance agency recommended Identity Theft Protection? – Over the past year millions of people had their identities stolen.  Our children, who could even fathom this.  These thieves steal their identities and years later when they go apply for a credit card or rent an apartment they find out there is hundreds of thousands in debt in their name. This has become such a huge problem we now offer Identity Theft protection.  Under our plan you can protect yourself, spouse and all your children.  Anyone can purchase protection though including your employees!  Click here to learn more or get started.
  1. Turn Every Homeowner, Business Owner and Building Owner Into a Monthly Residual Income Stream!  This Can Be Such a Money Maker for YOU! – Hundreds of contractors across America are involved in this business.  We recently met Juan a GC from NYC and Dominick another GC from Rockland County, both doing this, both making 4 to 5 figure incomes a month!  Call Gary at 914-806-5853 to learn more.

Why It Is Important to Review Your Business Insurance Annually – Let Us Help You Make Sure Your Coverage Is In Order!

AGENCY ALERT! – When was the last time you saw your insurance broker? Does your agency make coverage recommendations? Has your agency gotten so big that you speak to a different person each time you call? If you want to go back to the 60’s and receive VERY PERSONAL CARE from one person who comes to visit you and knows your account inside and out call Gary Wallach at 914-806-5853.

Article:

One of the keys to managing risks when you first start a business is getting the right insurance to cover your operations, property and potential liabilities.

Unfortunately, many business owners fail to update their policies and just renew them year after year even if the company has grown, expanded operations and facilities, and added new equipment and property. If this is the case, the old coverage would be insufficient.

Business owners should review their policies every year to catch any omissions and make sure they are not underinsured. It is common for smaller businesses to secure a basic business owner’s policy (BOP) and workers’ comp when they first get started. A BOP includes:

  • Property insurance for buildings and contents owned by the company.
  • Business interruption insurance, which covers the loss of income resulting from a fire or other catastrophe that disrupts the operation of the business.
  • Liability protection, which covers your company’s legal responsibility for the harm it may cause to others. This harm is a result of things that you and your employees do or fail to do in your business operations that may cause bodily injury or property damage due to defective products, faulty installations and errors in services provided.

Outgrowing BOP coverage

As your business expands, you may outgrow the BOP and need additional coverage to manage your risks. Some examples include the following:

  • Workers’ comp. While you likely added a workers’ comp policy when you made your first hire, you will need to update it as you add more staff. If you don’t, when your insurer audits you, you may face a hefty bill for additional premium. Be diligent about your policy and inform your insurer as you grow.
  • Excess umbrella or liability coverage. You should consider this insurance to cover claims that exceed your BOP’s limit, providing you with an added layer of protection to protect your assets.
  • Professional liability insurance. These policies provide coverage for mistakes for any professional services you provide. This used to be mainly for doctors, attorneys and accountants, but as our service sector has expanded it includes services provided by coders and software developers, appraisers, consultants, real estate brokers, graphic designers and home inspectors, among others.
  • Auto, non-owned and hired coverage. This protects business owners if an employee has an accident while driving a rental or personal vehicle on the job. 
  • Employment practices liability insurance. This covers human resources issues related to discrimination, harassment and termination.
  • Commercial auto insurance. This coverage protects autos that are not under a personal policy.
  • Directors and officers liability coverage. This protects officers and directors in the event they are sued for wrongful acts while on duty.

Depending on the business, some or most of these insurance options may be required for adequate protection. Annual reviews with us are ideal for discussing your options. Make sure these elements are considered:

  • If computers, equipment or other types of property have been added, this would be reason to increase policy limits.
  • While revenue is an important consideration, it is also important to remember that it is a potential liability. 
  • A general liability or BOP may be affected if the owner has moved, added or closed locations.
  • Hired and non-hired auto insurance is necessary if workers are driving frequently in rented vehicles. 
  • For specific types of work and services, employers may need additional endorsements for their general liability policies.
  • People who are serving new industries or clients may have problems with their professional liability coverage if they have large amounts of high-risk industries or customers.
  • If you experience an increase in the number of workers you have, or there is a higher turnover rate, it is important to think about employment practices liability coverage. And as mentioned, your workers’ comp policy should be updated to reflect any staffing changes and that you categorize your workers properly.
