Jackson, AL Business Insurance

Alabama was home to 386,661 small businesses in previous years. With 764,207 employees, these businesses suffered $4,070,408 in losses—making Alabama the 27th highest state in the country for losses. Jackson, AL, one of the state's smaller southwestern towns, is a big contributor to overall economic success, thanks to a number of thriving businesses. It's a great place for entrepreneurs and small companies to either start something big or continue gaining loyal customers.

But that doesn't mean your small business is devoid of risk. From negligence claims to cyber crimes, your company can face a number of unexpected situations that warrant proper insurance protection. That's where an Independent insurance agent comes into play. Our local agents know the unique risks you face and can help find a Jackson business insurance policy that works for you.

The most basic form of insurance for your small business is liability coverage. It covers a range of situations from simple slips to larger lawsuits and gives you the protection you need to keep things running smoothly from a business standpoint.

• General Liability: According to a recent Travelers Business Risk Summary, 60% of small-business owners ranked medical cost inflation as their highest concern and over 30% said they felt the least prepared to handle this concern. If a customer slips and falls on your property, general liability coverage compensates you for associated costs you may face so you can focus on the bottom line.
• Product Liability: A product malfunction isn't something you want to think about, but if it happens and causes injury, you could be held liable. In fact, a national study found that 71% of product liability awards and 53% of medical malpractice awards by the courts amounted to $1 million or more. Talk to an agent about your liability options if you sell, distribute or manufacture a product.
• Professional Liability: If you or your employees regularly give advice, you need professional liability, also known as errors and omissions, insurance. Architects, consultants, accountants, and advisors can face negligence claims and lawsuits for a number of reasons. But professional liability protection compensates you for legal and defense costs so you can stay financially stable.

It's called business interruption insurance, and it's an extra layer of protection that you shouldn't avoid.
