Sunset Clause aka Sunset Provision

A sunset clause on a liability policy is an endorsement that limits the coverage provided by the policy to a specific period of time, and can limit the reporting period of a claim. This means that if a policyholder is insured under a policy with a sunset clause and a claim is made for a loss that occurred during the policy period, but the claim is not reported until after the “sunset” date, the policy will not provide coverage for that claim.

For contractors, a sunset clause on a liability policy can be particularly problematic as construction projects can be complex and claims may not be discovered until long after the project is completed. For example, a defect in the construction work may not be discovered until several months or even years after the project is completed.

Therefore, contractors should approach a policy with a sunset clause with caution, and consider the potential risks and liabilities of the project before purchasing a policy. They should also consider purchasing an extended reporting period (ERP) or “tail coverage” option to provide coverage for claims that may arise after the policy period but were not reported during the policy period.

It’s important for contractors to discuss the sunset clause and ERP options with their insurance professional to ensure that they have the right coverage for their business. They should also carefully review the terms, conditions and exclusions of their insurance policy to understand the scope of coverage and any limitations.

State and Subdivision Permit Endorsement

A state and subdivision permit endorsement is a type of endorsement that can be added to an insurance policy to provide coverage for certain permits and licenses that are required by state and local governments. These permits and licenses can include building permits, zoning permits, and other types of approvals that are required for construction or other business activities.

The state and subdivision permit endorsement covers the cost of obtaining and maintaining the required permits and licenses, as well as any legal fees or fines that may be incurred as a result of violations of these permits and licenses. This endorsement is typically available for businesses that are involved in construction or other activities that require a significant number of permits and licenses from state and local governments.

By adding a state and subdivision permit endorsement to their insurance policy, businesses can protect themselves from the financial impact of obtaining and maintaining the required permits and licenses. This can help businesses to avoid delays and disruptions to their operations caused by issues related to permits and licenses.

The Use of Insurance as a Risk Management Tool

The goal of risk management is to identify, analyze, and manage loss exposure so that an organization can achieve its goals. The use of insurance is just one method that organizations use as part of their general risk management strategies. Using insurance, an organization or individual is able to transfer the financial consequences of a loss to an insurance company.

 

The purpose of commercial insurance is to protect against both property loss and liability loss exposures.

 

In a liability loss exposure, there is the possibility that an individual or organization could suffer a financial loss as the result of a claim seeking monetary damages or other legal remedy against them.

 

Property loss exposure refers to the possibility that a person or organization will suffer a financial loss due to the destruction, loss, or loss of use of property that the individual or organization has a financial interest in.

Commercial Insurance Versus Personal Insurance

Commercial insurance covers businesses (for profit) and nonprofit organizations, whereas individuals and families buy personal insurance to cover non-business insurance needs. Insurance for the property and liability of a restaurant falls under commercial insurance, while homeowner insurance covers the house and personal liability falls under personal insurance.

 

To liability and property insurers, the difference between commercial and personal insurance is essential. There are companies that offer only personal lines of insurance, some that offer only commercial lines, and some that offer both. There are separate divisions within an insurance company structure for personal and commercial lines. Commercial insurance generally involves a greater number of policy forms and endorsements than personal insurance.

How Does Gap Insurance Work?

In case your car is totaled or stolen and you owe more than the depreciated value of the vehicle, gap insurance helps pay off your auto loan. A loan-or-lease gap policy is also known as gap insurance. In this case, the insurance coverage applies only to the original borrower or lessee of a new car. Gap insurance pays the difference between what you still owe on the car and what the car is worth.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GAP INSURANCE?

If you’re leasing or financing a new car, your creditor will often require you to carry comp and collision and coverage on your car insurance until you have paid off the car.

The purpose of gap insurance is to cover a gap in the coverage provided by collision or comprehensive coverage. You will be able to recover up to the depreciated value of your stolen or wrecked vehicle under your collision or comprehensive coverage if you have a covered claim. New cars lose value as soon as you drive them off the lot. In addition, most vehicles depreciate by 20 percent in the first year of ownership. However, what happens if you still owe more than the depreciated value of the vehicle on your loan or lease? A gap insurance policy may be able to help.

GAP INSURANCE: WHEN TO BUY

In the event that your vehicle is stolen or totaled and you are underwater on your auto loan (meaning you owe more than it is worth), you may be eligible for gap insurance coverage. A totaled vehicle is one whose repair costs exceed its value. State law and your insurer’s discretion determine whether your vehicle is declared totaled.

GAP INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE AFTER YOU BUY A CAR?

According to the model year of the vehicle, gap insurance may be available after you buy a car. Some insurance companies offer gap coverage with their car insurance policies, not just at car dealerships. The cost of gap insurance from an insurance provider is often cheaper than from a dealer.

Insurance companies may require you to purchase gap insurance if your vehicle is brand new. A lease or loan may mean, for example, that you are the original owner of the vehicle. A vehicle that is two to three model years old, for instance.

Find out what qualifications are required for gap insurance from your insurer.

CAN GAP INSURANCE SAVE YOU MONEY?

It’s important to keep in mind that gap insurance may only be available if you’re leasing or financing a new vehicle. Take into consideration how much you owe on your auto loan and how much your car is worth. How much do you owe on your auto loan? Are you able to pay the difference if your car is totaled out of pocket? Gap insurance may be of use in the following situations: When you paid less than 20% down on your vehicle and a 60-month or longer auto loan.  Lease contracts often include gap coverage when you lease a new car. Find out if yours includes it.

We can assist you with gap insurance purchases at Safepro Insurance Services

What Is Railroad Protective Liability insurance – Explained

Contractors performing work on or around railroad tracks, railroad right-of-ways, or railroad property are required to have Railroad Protective Liability insurance.

Contractors are also offered this coverage in addition to other types of insurance required of contractors. Due to the fact that this coverage is not included in commercial general liability (it’s excluded), it is offered separately.

Railroad operations can be disrupted or even damaged by construction and demolition along the railroad’s right-of-way. As a result, railroads often require their contractors to take over the railroad’s liability. These policies protect railroads from potential financial risks and hazards. The standard commercial general liability (CGL) policy excludes work within 50 feet of railroad property.

What Is OCP “Owners and Contractors Protective Liability Insurance Coverage” – Explained

Owners and Contractors’ Protective Liability Coverage – offers protection against liability for bodily injury resulting from the work of independent contractors hired by a named insured. The contractor purchases the policy to protect the client (project owner) from vicarious liability in connection with work performed on the project. As part of its oversight of the contractor’s operations, the OCP policy also covers the insured for liability arising from its own acts and omissions.
