Wildfire season is here, and ensuring that you and your loved ones are prepared is a crucial step. Beyond memorizing evacuation routes and packing a go-bag, reviewing your homeowners and auto insurance policies can be a key step to help prepare in case the worst were to happen.

That said, it’s a good idea to confirm that your homeowners or renters policy covers fire, smoke, and ash damage, and check your auto policy if you want coverage for your vehicle as well, since that typically falls under a comprehensive auto policy rather than homeowners coverage.

Additionally, look at your additional living expenses limits and ask yourself honestly whether they would cover your costs if you were displaced for several weeks or longer.

If you have questions about your current coverage, or if you want to talk through layering on policies to help protect your belongings in case of a wildfire, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We are here to help protect what you have built.

Have you heard of Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)? This key coverage can be crucial in workplace-related claims tied to how you hire, manage, and support employees.

EPLI is designed to help protect your business against certain workplace-related claims, including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and decisions regarding hiring and promotions. These claims can be time-consuming, costly, and disruptive, regardless of a company’s size. Additionally:

✅ A single claim can lead to significant legal expenses, even if no wrongdoing is found.
✅ Leadership time and attention may be pulled away from running the business to handle a legal proceeding.
✅ Claims can involve not only employees, but also customers, vendors, or other third parties, depending on the situation.
✅ Situations can escalate quickly, especially when there are differing perspectives or limited documentation.

EPLI can help provide a financial backstop so one issue doesn’t disrupt your day-to-day operations or long-term plans.

If you would like to talk through adding EPLI coverage to your current portfolio or simply review your existing coverage, our team would be happy to connect and answer any questions you may have. Give us a call today, and we can get started.

If you’ve ever loaned your car to a friend or borrowed someone else’s vehicle, you may have wondered what happens if an accident occurs. Would the vehicle owner’s insurance apply — or would the driver’s policy take over?

In most situations, auto insurance follows the vehicle first, not the driver. That means the car's policy is usually the primary source of coverage in the event of an accident. However, that’s not always the case. Swipe for some key details about when the vehicle owner’s policy kicks in and when the driver’s policy is used.

If you’re ever unsure how your coverage applies, want to double-check your policy, or layer on additional auto coverages, we’re always happy to take a look with you. Feel free to give our team a call. We are here to be a resource for you.

When a business grows, two things that tend to change quickly are inventory levels and headcount. Growth in both of these areas can create gaps in your insurance coverage in ways that are easy to miss until something goes wrong.

If your business is carrying more inventory than it was when your policy was written, your current property limits may not fully cover a loss from a fire, theft, or other covered event.

Similarly, adding employees changes your workers' compensation calculations and liability exposure, and payroll classifications may need to be updated to accurately reflect the work your team is actually doing.

If either of these has shifted for your business this year, it is worth taking a closer look at your current coverage. Give us a call, and we can help you determine whether your policy still fits your business today.
