Umbrella Business Insurance: Protection against Devastating Lawsuits


The United States is an extremely litigious nation where everyone can sue anybody for just about anything. Businesses are primary targets, with lawsuits (ranging from evident company errors to frivolous claims) reaching hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Either way, if a legal settlement or verdict exceeds your Michigan business’s liability coverage, your solvency would be at risk. For these reasons, it’s a wise move to get an umbrella business insurance policy which would provide added protection against disastrous losses arising from lawsuits. Consider the following scenarios: • One of your employees driving a company vehicle gets involved in an accident that injures others. • A customer suffers from a slip-and-fall injury because your premises weren’t maintained properly. • A manager is accused of harassment by an employee. • You sold a faulty product that caused damage to a customer’s property.

Why Home Insurance is Essential to Condominium Owners in Michigan


Condo associations in Michigan typically have insurance policies, but these tend to not cover everything in the complex. Such policies would most likely just include common areas of the building, including the common rooms, hallways, pools, and the exterior. Depending on what is written on the condo association’s master policy, condo owners would need a separate home insurance policy that would cover individual and personal needs. Home insurance for a condo unit would cover both personal property and personal liability for added protection. Home insurance for condominiums is referred to as a dwelling policy (DP). It is a multiple-line insurance that has property and liability coverage. It can cover damage to furniture, clothing, appliances, and other personal items as well as personal belongings in the home or elsewhere. The policy can also cover the common loss assessments made by the condo association for all unit owners.

MI Auto Insurance: Filling the Gap with Guaranteed Auto Protection


Your current auto insurance serves as your safeguard in case of total vehicle loss. But what if the insurance proceeds are not enough to pay off the outstanding balance or lease payments on your vehicle? There remains an obligation for you to pay the deficiency. In this case, you may want to get additional coverage, specifically the Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP), for extra security. Here in Michigan, Allied Insurance Managers can provide you this supplemental coverage. As with all types of policies, GAP insurance has its limitations. Generally, it excludes overdue payments; penalties due to excessive use; carry-over balances from past loans and leases; deductions for wear and tear, towing, storage, and prior damage by the main insurer; add-on installations to the car; and insurances purchased along with the loan or lease.
