Liability insurance protects against the tort of negligence in the Pizza Shop Business Insurance policy.  The tort of negligence is a breach of duty that is derived from common law principles that have evolved through decades and even centuries of recorded decisions about our relationships with one another including Pizza Shop Business Insurance clients.  A duty is an obligation we owe to someone else.  In essence, we owe each other the duty to protect them from the consequences of our actions and when someone is hurt or suffers harm to either body, property, or reputation, in our culture we boil down our grievances to a monetary settlement in most cases.  In the case of the liability coverage provided in our Pizza Shop Business Insurance policy, we will pay for the benefit of a legal defense against the claims of injury or damage and we will also pay the amounts that become due to another because a finding of your negligence has occurred through legal proceedings or an agreement accomplished through the negotiations of your insurance carrier and the other people involved in the claim.  This includes bodily injury and property damage as a result of events on the premises, through acts on and away from the work facilities, injuries caused by products, advertising injury, personal injuries other than bodily injury, hired and non-owned auto liability, and injury or damage caused due to computer intrusion and compromise when chosen.

Property insurance is required to be included when a Pizza Shop Business policy is issued.  We must include the business personal property, stock and fixtures because the Pizza Shop Business Insurance policy is a package policy that requires both liability and property coverage be included.  The reason the BOP policy is cost effective is the large package credits that are built into the premium charges.  The business owner policy provides a lot of coverage in a tidy package and it is flexible enough to handle several locations and variety of situations for building, business personal property, computer and cyber-crime needs, signs, coverage on or off premises, loss of business income, and break down of critical building mechanical systems that may alter your ability to operate. Larger Pizza Shop Business entities may be equally served by our commercial package policy when property values exceed the thresholds built into our Pizza Shop Business Insurance business owner policy package program. The BOP program is for the small to medium sized apartment operations.

Inland Marine and Special Property

(See IM Section for more Details)

Mobile equipment and property that leaves the building is best covered with an inland marine endorsement that is designed for equipment that may float to where you actually do your work, like for example, laptop computers that are taken to a local or business catering event.  Certain equipment that is mobile in nature and leaves the business premises will find the broad coverage of the inland marine policy endorsement is best method of insurance for this type of property.

Umbrella Liability

Pizza Shop Business Insurance often includes an Umbrella liability policy as an additional limit of liability coverage because of the potential for large liability claims in to occur. An Umbrella policy protects for damages that exceed primary policies and sometimes losses that were not covered in the primary policies but were not excluded by the language of the umbrella policy.  Most carriers offering an umbrella policy to cover over underlying policies they also write.  It is good to know what is and isn’t covered by the Umbrella so make sure to ask.

Crime and Fidelity

  • Employee Theft
  • Crime Inside
  • Crime Outside

While you are busy operating and managing your business, your Pizza Shop Business Insurance can be on guard for the loss of money through theft, robbery or burglary, or the dishonesty of an employee. These are losses that can cripple a business and tailoring the needs for crime and fidelity coverage can be done within the Business Owner Policy for Pizza Shop Business needs.

Business Auto

(See business Auto Section for Details)

One of the primary issues Pizza Shop Business Insurance is the insurance on the delivery drivers. If you maintain your own fleet of owned vehicles, we can usually easily solve the insurance problems inherent in delivery operations. If you rely on the vehicles provided by the drivers, this non-ownership situation requires special attention and carriers who are interested in this non-ownership relationship are a lot more difficult to find. When you operate owned autos as a part of your Pizza Shop business, it is important to insure the vehicles (regardless of who owns them) with liability protection just like the premises and operations.  If you have your delivery drivers provide their own vehicles as a part of delivering your product, not only are strong management practices a must, but the driver MVR and accident history must be well managed as well.

The business auto coverage is dealt with in general detail in the business auto section.  Follow the link to this section for my information.
