Business Insurance Coverage

As a leading brokerage nationwide, we specialize in providing businesses with the coverage they need to protect against losses, property damage and legal liability to employee-related risks and special circumstances.  

Our team of seasoned advocates with decades of experience get to know your business inside and out, along with unique risks you face, to ensure you have adequate coverage not only to recover losses, but also to continue your operations in the event of a loss. Lovitt & Touché can provide guidance and tailor a smart, comprehensive and competitive coverage package that can include protection against general theft and damage, fire and environmental damage, product recalls, builder’s risk, business interruption and more.

Property Insurance

Whether you own or lease your building, tools, equipment or inventory, property insurance is coverage every company – big or small – needs so if and when disaster strikes, you will be protected. From a raging fire destroying inventory and unpredictable weather damaging your building to a burst pipe flooding the IT server room or theft of valuable equipment, risk is everywhere.

Commercial Liability Insurance

A lot can happen day-to-day, so we make sure you’re covered when it comes to a wide range of third-party claims.

• General Liability: Essential for businesses of all types of sizes, a commercial general liability policy helps protect your business against claims of property damage and bodily injury arising from your people, premises, products or services, as well as personal and advertising injury.
• Professional Liability: Whether you’re public, private or non-profit, our team can help protect your business from the risks that come with delivering professional services. Professional liability insurance can provide coverage for alleged or actual negligence, defense costs, personal injury, copyright infringement, financial damages, claims arising from services provided in the past, and damages.
• Commercial Auto Liability: If your employees operate company vehicles, auto liability coverage is essential to financially protect against accidents, injuries and property damage. We can help you determine the right level of coverage, which may include: hired and non-owned, uninsured, underinsured and drive other car (DOC) coverage.  
• Cyber Liability: As cyber security becomes an increasingly integral component of business operations, cyber liability insurance is vital. It can cover the cost of data or privacy breaches that expose personal information, such as Social Security or credit card information, proprietary data or even intellectual property. It also covers the cost to notify affected parties, including any ongoing identity theft or credit monitoring needs.  
• Management Liability: Risk is an intrinsic element of doing business. Management decisions can be especially risky, leaving the organization, leadership team, board of directors and other key players open to litigation. We help our clients mitigate this risk with management liability insurance, a risk transfer tool that protects not only the company’s bottom line, but the individuals associated with it, to fill gaps left by traditional commercial liability policies. ‍
• Directors and Officers Liability (D&O) protects directors and officers against financial loss resulting from litigation in their official company capacity.‍
• Fiduciary Liability covers legal costs and damages from lawsuits related to your fiduciary duties in the management of your employee benefit programs.‍
• Employment Practices Liability (EPL) provides coverage from legal costs and damages related to employment practice violations such as harassment, discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination, among others.‍
• Workers’ Compensation: When work-related injuries and illnesses happen on the job, Worker’s Compensation, which is compulsory for all employers, is there to help cover lost wages and medical expenses.‍
• Pollution Liability: We have experience working with companies that handle hazardous waste materials, so we know the importance of protection against environmental risks. From bodily injury to property damage, including clean-up costs, we can find the pollution liability policy that’s right for your needs.
