For church insurance, you should go to a company that specializes in churches. This will be more cost effective way, you'll get the appropriate coverages (counseling, abuse, Directors & Officers, Employment Practices Liability, Work Comp, etc.) and you'll probably work with an agent that is familiar with ministries. The 4 main companies that insure churches are:
Church Mutual:The Largest
GuideOne: Works with the most agents
Brotherhood Mutual:Specialized for Evangelical Christian Churches
Philadelphia:Owned by a Japanese Company and new to the church insurance market
No. When you get liability insurance, you are basically getting insurance for everyone else on the road that you may cause damage to. It does nothing to protect you from theft, vandalism ect.
In most cases, clients are handed over with the processes and legal documentation of getting an insurance from a company - providing the necessary information ,limits and scope of the client's insurance - which then includes liability insurance.
Negligence liability involves getting insurance for situations where one makes a mistake and one is responsible for damages. One can get negligence liability from insurance companies like All State.
The benefit to getting 501c3 status is the ability to accept charitable contributions. I am not familiar with a nonprofit LLC. There has been a movement in the past few years to create a hybrid of for profit and non profits called an L3C, low profit limited liability corporation.
You are subject to liability insurance requirements whether or not an accident occurs. An accident has nothing to do with liability requirements. You are required to have liability insurance of at least the minimum required by your state before getting into a vehicle and driving it. Driving is what triggers the law.
Texas Liability insurance simple put is insurance that will cover the other driver's bills if you get into an accident. It will not cover the cost of getting your own car fixed or any medical bills you have.
It would definitely be worth getting liability insurance for your new business. It is in place to protect businesses from being sued by a third party due to negligence. Having liability insurance is a must for any business. Liability insurance, or business insurance, protects your company against lawsuits that claim you failed to use reasonable care.
There is no need to have your employees sign a liability release form. All you have to do is check with your insurance company to make sure you are covered with liability insurance.
Some general liability policies DO exclude action over claims, and you should also be getting waivers of subro on work comp from the people you are working with to prevent these types of issues. Make sure you work with a risk manager or insurance broker who clearly understands your company's risk and can help you mitigate that instead of just buying pieced together insurance for it.
The cost of general liability depends on.1) The type of contracting work you plan to do (Commercial, Residential, Demolion etc).2) The amount of work you plan to perform in a year.3) Your expected payroll and/or subcontractor expenses.4) The amount of coverage you want.(Do you want $100,000, $500,000 or $2,000,000 in coverage)A $ 500,000 policy can cost one contractor $5,000 and another $8,000. I recommend getting a few quotes from an insurance agent that specializes in writing policys for general contractors.
Many companies offer auto liability insurance. I recommend getting online quotes from State Farm, Nationwide, Geico and Esurance for starters. You can find out more about all of these companies from their websites.
The personal liability portion of your car insurance is for damage you may cause to others. The collision portion of your car insurance is for your vehicle. If your vehicle is very old, with lots of miles and is not worth much, you may consider not getting it.
