Understanding General Liability Insurance!
August 4, 2008 by admin · 5 Comments
In today’s litigious society, even small mishaps can result in large lawsuits. That’s why general liability insurance, along with property and worker’s compensation insurance, is essential for most companies. Liability insurance protects the assets of a business when it is sued for something it did (or didn’t do) to cause an injury or property damage.
General liability insurance can be purchased separately or as part of a business-owner’s policy (BOP). A BOP bundles property and liability insurance into one policy; however, the liability coverage limits are generally pretty low. Businesses that need more coverage usually purchase liability insurance as a separate policy. The amount of coverage a business needs depends on a couple of factors:
- Perceived risk. Business owners should first consider the amount of risk associated with their business. For example, a business that manufactures heavy machinery is at a greater risk of being sued than a company that manufactures linens, and would therefore need more liability insurance.
- The state in which you operate. Businesses that operate in states with a history of awarding high damage amounts to plaintiffs typically need to carry liability insurance with higher coverage limits. An insurance broker can offer guidance in this area.

Control Indoor Air Pollution. Have Your Air Ducts Cleaned by Oliver Heating & Cooling
The sad news is, we can’t always control how much air pollution there is in our cities. The good news is, we can control how much indoor air pollution there is indoors, inside our homes, offices and other indoor areas we use frequently. One of the ways to control indoor air pollution is by regularly cleaning your air ducts.
If air ducts are not installed, maintained and operated correctly, they can become contaminated with dust particles, pollen particles or particles of other debris. Moisture, when present, threatens to provide an environment for microbiological growth, such as mold. Spores from such growth may be released into the air in the home’s living space. Exposure to contaminants like these may cause allergic reactions in people. That’s why many people choose to have their air ducts cleaned. Oliver Heating & Cooling will clean the air ducts in your home. You wont have to worry about allergens in your home. Read more
Questions about Long Term Care Insurance?
July 30, 2008 by admin · 3 Comments
Long-term care insurance (LTC or LTCI) helps provide for the cost of long-term care beyond a predetermined period. Long-term care insurance covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
Individuals who require long-term care are generally not sick in the traditional sense, but instead, are unable to perform the basic activities of daily living (ADLs). Long-term care isn’t necessarily long term. A person may need care for only a few months to recover from an accident, surgery or illness. As an individual ages, there is an increased risk of needing long-term care. Read more
