Business Auto It's shiny and new, weighs in at 50,000 lbs., fully loaded and travels down 2 lane roads at speeds up to 55 mph. Tractors and the trailers they pull, dump trucks, straight trucks and pickups, even the Chevy Cavalier that your salesman operates while drinking his morning coffee and talking on his cell phone; they all expose your company to significant liabilities and expense. Our professional agents will advise you of the proper limits and options available under a business auto policy to suit your special needs.
Workers Compensation In 1911 Wisconsin adopted the first Workers Compensation Law. While it has been modified by various states the intent of the law remains the sole remedy for workplace injuries incurred by employees. As a concession to labor and to eliminate costly litigation, negligence was removed as a defense in workplace injuries. In North Carolina, if your company employs three or more people you are financially responsible for any injury sustained on the job. Let our professional agents fully explain and help properly classify your exposure under the Workers Compensation statute to maximize your benefits and minimize your cost.
