Hello Dallas it’s monday

“Almost 2015” href=”http://www.laborforceinsurance.com/almost-2015/”>Dallas General liability: Commercial insurance is sometimes more complicated than anyone wants’ it to be i.e. certificates requirements from general contractors can be a major source of this pain. In the Dallas insurance world this is called “Wording” this wording can cost a bit more than one might think. WE the people of insurance need to have an understanding of the implications of said “Wording” and which companies can comply with them more complicated request without interfering with your day to day business. This is where the monetary complications began and can escalate from there.

Certificates of insurance

Ahhhhh yes the abominable (COI) – certificate – of – insurance can be the life bridge between the larger jobs, that may pay more because of the sophistication of the general contractor. And remember for the small contractor sometimes it is just cost prohibitive to be involved in such contractual negotiations. There are different kinds of request:

  • Additional Insured.
  • Waiver of subrogation.
  • 30 day notice.
  • Workers compensation.
  • Umbrella – used to increase your occurrence limit.

Now, without going into the forest to deep additional insured’s and waiver of subrogation’s have different types of extensions that change the policy in general. The fact does it change that most people are not going to have a general liability claim and as a blue-collar worker stereotypically speaking that person is not concerned with the endorsement.

Here is the Rub

No, this is not the kind of rub that was placed on your barbecue two days ago to enhance the flavor, no – not at all. The situation here is not the request of the endorsement it is finding the company that is going to adhere to the contractual configuration and satisfy your general contractor certificate of insurance request. There is a way to make this easy for your company, the problem will not fall into the column of ease of use, the problem will fall into the type of policy is not stronger in rating as in A+ but has more extensions built into their policy and is more costly because of the extensions that are built-in. It is something like a car with more options (think baseline automobile versus top-of-the-line) in other words this ease-of-use cost money.
