Technology Business Insurance<\/strong> for information technology contractors, software services companies, and other technologists are similar to the insurance needs and requirements of other commercial businesses.\u00a0 However, we understand that your business often deals with intangibles and not products you can touch or handle and these in themselves create additional issues for concern. In your Technology Business Insurance<\/strong> you also need to protect the interests of building owners when the building is not owned by you just in case you cause damage to facilities. We can write Technology Business Insurance<\/strong> single locations and those with more than one location.<\/p>\n

Technology Business Insurance<\/strong>\u00a0under our commercial package policy is designed for most technology businesses but some operations might require additional consideration by our underwriters.\u00a0 The policy we write for technology businesses will typically include the following coverage and options when selected. Basic general liability is included automatically:<\/p>\n

      Liability insurance protects against the tort of negligence in the Technology Business Insurance<\/strong> policy.\u00a0 The tort of negligence is a breach of duty\u00a0that is derived from common law principles that have evolved through decades and even centuries of recorded decisions about our relationships with one another including Technology Business Insurance <\/strong>clients.\u00a0 A duty is an obligation we owe to someone else.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 In our culture we boil down our grievances to a money damages settlement in most cases.\u00a0 In the case of the liability coverage provided in our Technology Business Insurance <\/strong>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 been agreed upon.\u00a0 Agreements occur through legal proceedings or an agreement accomplished through the negotiations of your insurance carrier and the other people involved in the claim.\u00a0 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 coverage is chosen.<\/p>\n

        Our package policies are a combination of property and liability coverage so property coverage must be included for your technology business.\u00a0 At the least we must include the business personal property, stock and fixtures along with liability coverage because the\u00a0Technology Business Insurance<\/strong> policy is a package policy that requires both liability and property coverage be included.\u00a0 The reason the BOP policy is cost effective is the large package credits that are built into the premium charges.\u00a0 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. We also offer small to mid-sized technology businesses coverage in our Business Owner Policy Program..<\/p>\n

        Inland Marine and Special Property<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        (See IM Section for more Details)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Inland Marine coverage is especially designed for mobile equipment and property that leaves the insured premises\/location.\u00a0 If you take property to a client location like a laptop and other hardware or software, the IM coverage provides great protection for this mobile property.<\/p>\n

        Technology Business Insurance – Umbrella Liability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Technology Business Insurance<\/strong> often includes an Umbrella liability policy as an additional limit of liability coverage because of the potential for large liability claims can occur. Think of an Umbrella policy as an extension of the underlying liability policy limits.\u00a0 What isn\u2019t covered in the primary policies may also be picked up in the Umbrella policy when it is not specifically excluded.\u00a0 Most carriers offering an\u00a0umbrella policy to cover over underlying policies they also write.\u00a0 It is good to know what is and isn\u2019t covered by the Umbrella so make sure to ask.<\/p>\n

        Crime, Surety & <\/strong>Fidelity<\/strong> Bonds<\/strong><\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Employee Theft<\/li>\n
        • Crime Inside<\/li>\n
        • Crime Outside<\/li>\n
        • Surety & Fidelity Bonds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          While you are busy operating and managing your business, your Technology Business Insurance<\/strong> 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, surety and fidelity coverage can be done within the Business Owner Policy for technology companies but may be better handled on a separate policy.<\/p>\n

          Business Auto<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          (See business Auto Section for Details)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          If you maintain your own a fleet of owned vehicles, we can usually easily solve the Technology Business Insurance<\/strong> problems inherent in your operations on a separate commercial auto policy that becomes a part of your coverage package.\u00a0 If you rely on the vehicles owned by your employees for delivery or business errands, you will need employer\u2019s non-ownership coverage.\u00a0 When you operate owned autos as a part of your technology business, it is important to insure the vehicles (regardless of who owns them) with liability protection in limits similar to those you carry on premises and operations coverage.\u00a0 We cover non-owned auto liability with endorsements for small operations in most cases.<\/p>\n

          The business auto coverage is dealt with in general detail in the business auto section.\u00a0 Follow the link to this section for my information.<\/p>\n
