Workers’ Compensation FAQs
· Why do I need workers’ comp insurance?
keyboard_arrow_down
In most states, the law requires most businesses having one or more employees to have workers’ compensation insurance. In fact, many states employers are required to post notice somewhere in the workplace advising employees of the identity of the insurer and how to report a claim. Employers can be fined for not carrying workers’ compensation insurance and stop orders can be issued, depending on state labor commissions, preventing employers from using employee labor until coverage is obtained.
· What is covered in a workers’ comp policy?
keyboard_arrow_down
It depends. The insurance benefits provided by a Workers’ Compensation policy are regulated by each state, thus, they may differ in each state in which you operate. A workers’ compensation policy provides coverage for lost wages, medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses, and death benefits resulting from an employee’s injury or illness that occurs due to the job. Incidents can range from sudden accidents to work-related illnesses/injuries that happen over time. Covered medical expenses can include hospital care, surgery, doctor visits, physical therapy, emergency room visits, prescription medication, etc. When an employee is unable to stay at (or return to) work, replacement income can be provided.
· Are all on-the-job injuries covered by workers’ compensation coverage?
keyboard_arrow_down
In general, workers’ compensation policies cover most, but not all, on-the-job injuries – even when an injury is caused by employer or employee carelessness. However, injuries that happen because an employee is intoxicated or using illegal drugs are most likely not covered. Other examples of injuries that may not be covered are injuries suffered when an employee was not on the job or injuries suffered when an employee’s conduct violated company policy. The rules vary widely state by state, and rules can be changed from time to time.
· If I use contractors instead of employees, do I still need workers’ compensation insurance?
keyboard_arrow_down
Contracted workers, leased workers, and some other hiring situations may be exempt from workers’ compensation requirements. However, laws differ from state to state and some require companies to provide coverage for contractors. We'd be glad to discuss your current situation with you if you want to call us at 1-973-331-0018.
· How important is it to correctly identify industry type in determining Industry Classification?
keyboard_arrow_down
Really important! If the type of business is improperly classified, a business owner could pay significant additional premium at the end of the policy term. The workers’ compensation industry uses a standard set of three- or four-digit “classification codes” assigned by either a State Rating Bureau or the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) depending upon the state. Each code reflects the risk associated with the duties or “scope of work performed” for employees at a particular type of company. As a result, this classification is the basis for the workers’ compensation insurance rates assigned to that job. Incorrect industry identification generally means the premium charged is either higher or lower than appropriate, resulting in a large workers’ compensation premium payment, or credit due, when the policy’s mandatory premium audit is conducted.
Knowingly misclassifying workers is an act of fraud and can have serious consequences.
If you are unsure of your class, we are glad to help get it figured out up front! Give us a call at 1-973-331-0018
· How is the cost (the premium) of a workers’ compensation policy calculated?
keyboard_arrow_down
The price you pay is based on many different factors including your payroll, the kind of business you have, the job duties of your employees, and where your business is located. In a simple example, what typically happens is that your industry class is determined, your payroll is multiplied by the “base rate” approved by your state’s department of insurance, and then, the result may be adjusted for several factors, including prior claims experience, risk characteristics such as a safety program or training program, or in some states a factor could be where you are located in the state.
· "What is meant by Annual Employee Payroll?
keyboard_arrow_down
Annual Employee Payroll is a technical term which refers to the annual amount paid to all of your employees (both full and part time), including W-2, 1099, and cash wages. In other words, the amount does include wages, commissions, bonuses, overtime pay, and holiday/sick/vacation pay. Annual employee payroll does not include tips, severance pay, overtime pay above and beyond regular rate of pay (this may vary state to state), payroll limitations, and any salaries of Executives, Officers, Owners, and Partners who elect to be excluded from coverage.
· Why is workers’ compensation an “auditable” policy?
keyboard_arrow_down
In short, these policies are auditable (meaning they are subject to confirmation of things like annual employee payroll) because changes happen within businesses throughout the year that can impact the cost of the insurance. A workers’ compensation premium audit will be performed after each policy period at an insurer’s discretion to verify payroll, class codes, and perhaps other factors (such as subcontractor exposure) depending upon the class and the laws of each state. A variety of methods can be used (phone calls, mailings, or in-person visits to your operation), though the goal is always the same – to find out whether the payroll and class codes used to determine your premium accurately reflect the payroll and scope of work performed during the policy period. For certain classes, audits also ensure that subcontractors had their own coverage in place. If not, you may be charged for their exposure on your policy as well.
· What is an Experience Modification (“MOD”)? How is a MOD determined?
keyboard_arrow_down
An Experience Mod (sometimes called a “MOD” or “X-MOD”) is an adjustment or modification to the pricing of your coverage that is specific to a particular business, and is based upon your previous claim experience as compared to other businesses of the same size and scope of operations. This factor helps determine your rate and your policy premium. Generally, a business must be in operation a minimum of three years and have generated sufficient premium in a single year for a MOD to be assigned. Since MODs are unique to each business, the organization that calculates the number (either NCCI or the state’s Workers’ Compensation Bureau) will associate the factor with the' + " Employer’s individual Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). The MOD is determined by comparing your loss (claims) data to that of other employers with the same classification codes and is expressed as either a credit or debit on your policy. In general, a MOD that is less than 1 is better than average (and earns a credit); while a MOD that greater than 1 is worse than average (and earns a debit).
· If my spouse and I are sole owners of our business and we do not have any employees, do we need workers’ compensation coverage?
keyboard_arrow_down
While the rules vary from state to state, coverage for sole owners is generally optional. However, you need to have workers’ compensation insurance for any employee you may hire – even when you have just one and/or that person is hired on a temporary basis.
Property & Liability (BOP) FAQs
· What type of coverage is provided under a Business Owner's Policy (BOP)?
keyboard_arrow_down
A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) provides both general liability and property coverage for your business. It protects against the loss of personal property, property damage to buildings, and liabilities faced in the course of business activities. Additional coverage is included in our basic BOP that provides additional security, including protection against loss of business income. Depending on your type of business, you may find that we suggest other possible coverage add-ons, along with explanations about what they provide, so that you can make an informed decision.
· What’s the difference between a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) and Package Policy?
keyboard_arrow_down
Both policies can provide similar coverages, but for businesses of different sizes. The BOP policy was designed for a simple purchasing process for small to mid-size businesses. It provides basic general liability and property coverage can be customized with other coverages to meet the needs of specific businesses. A package policy, on the other hand, is designed for larger or more complex businesses and requires that most coverages be individually selected based on the needs of the business.
· Why should I insure my building and business personal property to their replacement value?
keyboard_arrow_down
The most you can be paid for covered loss under the policy is the value for which you insure your property. If you insure your property for less than the replacement value, you may not recover your full damages in the event of a loss.
Furthermore, your Business Owner's policy requires that you insure your Business Personal Property (BPP) and Building (if covered by this policy) for at least 80% of the cost that would be incurred to replace the property.
This requirement applies to any loss, full or partial. If your building is not insured to 80% of the full replacement value at the time of loss, your loss payment will be reduced to the greater of the actual cash value of the damaged property or a pro-rated portion based on how far below the 80% requirement you insured the building.
To avoid problems like this, it is best to insure your building and business personal property for 100% of the replacement value.
If you require building coverage, we provide you with an estimate of the full replacement cost value of the building during the quoting process. This is only an estimate, and the data may not be complete or sufficiently capture the unique nature of your property. Please call us at 973-331-0018 if you have any questions regarding the value of your property.
· What if the building I own or occupy becomes vacant or partially vacant?
keyboard_arrow_down
A vacant building presents different insurance risks than an occupied building. Your Business Owner’s policy contains a provision which may limit the loss payment if your building becomes vacant.
If you are a tenant rather than an owner of the building in the building in which your business operates, it will be considered vacant if it does not contain enough business personal property to conduct customary operations. If you are the owner of a building, at least 31% of the building must be rented and used by a lessee or sublessee to conduct their customary operations or used by you to conduct your customary operations, otherwise it will be considered vacant.
If the building where loss or damage occurs has been vacant for more than 60 consecutive days before loss or damage occurs, the following causes of loss may be excluded: vandalism, sprinkler leakage, building glass breakage, water damage, theft, or attempted theft. In addition, all other causes of loss may have their payments reduced by 15%.
Please call us to discuss your coverage options if you feel your building may be considered vacant.
· How is my Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) premium determined?
keyboard_arrow_down
Our actuaries have determined our rates based on the type of business being insured, and the coverage being provided, as well as other factors which affect the risk. Examples of such additional factors for property coverage include whether the business property has a fire or burglar alarm system; the type of construction of the building insured; and the distance between the building insured and the nearest fire hydrant or fire station. Consideration of factors like these gets us to our final rates. We then apply the rates to limits being purchased to arrive at your property premium. A similar process is done to determine the rates for liability, which are applied to the square feet your business occupies, payroll, or gross sales depending on the class of business you operate to arrive at your liability premium. These property and liability premiums are then combined to determine the BOP premium quote.
· What additional coverages are included in my Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)?
keyboard_arrow_down
The following are examples of the additional coverages that are frequently included at no further cost:
If I have a loss and my business has to shut down for a period of time, how does my Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) help?
keyboard_arrow_down
In addition to basic property coverage for your building and business personal property, your policy protects you against a loss of "Business Income" for a predetermined number of days and / or maximum dollar value.
· What is my TIV?
keyboard_arrow_down
The term TIV refers to Total Insured Value and represents the combined value of your Building and Business Personal Property.
Does a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) include Auto coverage? Workers’ Compensation coverage?
keyboard_arrow_down
No. Your Business Owner’s Policy can address your typical General Liability and Property insurance needs while offering a large number of extra coverages. However, you must obtain your Auto(outside of hired and non - owned automobile coverages) and Workers’ Compensation insurance separately.
How can I best see all of the coverages and limits included in my policy?
keyboard_arrow_down
Your policy lists all your coverages and limits and premiums. The first few pages of the policy are called "declaration pages" and provide summary terms of your coverages and limits, and should serve as a useful overview of your coverage.
If I purchase a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP), do I also need a General Liability policy?
keyboard_arrow_down
Typically, the answer is no. A BOP provides liability coverage, and for most businesses, an additional General Liability policy would be unnecessary.

Is general liability insurance required by law?
keyboard_arrow_down
Unlike workers’ compensation insurance, general liability insurance is not legally required. However, general liability insurance typically is required by contract by people with whom you do business, including vendors, owners of buildings in which you operate, etc.
How much general liability insurance do I need?
keyboard_arrow_down
Insurance requirements vary based on the type of business, size, number of employees, etc. In many cases, if someone you are doing business with is requiring you to obtain general liability insurance, they will have minimum per-occurrence and aggregate limit requirements.

What is the difference between general liability and professional liability (E&O)?
keyboard_arrow_down
General liability insurance offers protection if someone outside of your business sues you for physical injury, property damage, or an advertising injury (libel/slander). Professional liability (E&O) insurance, also called errors and omissions insurance, covers you if you are sued by a client who claims you made an error, omission, or other professional mistake that resulted in a financial loss. While general liability insurance is relevant to almost all businesses, not all need a professional liability policy. We have licensed advisors ready to assist if you need help in this area.

It’s simple: having workman’s compensation coverage is the law in most states. If you don’t have it, you face state fines and penalties—even if you never file a claim. You could also get stuck with unexpected costs you have to pay out of your own pocket.
Workers’ comp insurance gives your employees and their families peace of mind knowing they won’t have to pay for medical treatment or other injury-related expenses.
Workers’ compensation insurance—commonly called “workers’ comp” or “workman’s comp”—is an often-mandatory type of insurance that protects both your employees and your company if an employee experiences an injury or disease while at work, including strains, trip and falls, or accidental death.
The average cost of workers’ compensation insurance per $100 in wages ranges from $.75 in Texas to $2.74 in Alaska. Workman’s comp insurance premiums are calculated based on the gross annual payroll you pay to employees. The more payroll expenses you have, the higher your workers’ comp insurance premiums. Workers’ comp insurance premiums are also influenced by: claims history, the requirements of your employees’ roles, the type of business you’re in, and state laws.
Most states require businesses to provide workers’ comp insurance for independent contractors and subcontractors who don’t have their own coverage. Avoid covering contractors by collecting their certificate of insurance before doing business with them. If they don’t have workers’ comp insurance, you’ll be charged for their coverage at a similar rate of their total pay based on the type of work they do.
Understand Who Needs to be Covered
Many states require coverage for employees, but not for business owners or officers.
Review Your Coverage Annually
Periodically ensure your coverage is up-to-date with your business. For example, if you have expanded to a new state, prices and policy requirements may be different there.
Manage Your Risks
Create a safe working environment and also facilitate safety and employee training. Your claims history can affect pricing, so a safe business means paying less money over time.
Add a Small Deductible
You will be billed for the deductible amount for each claim and non-payment will cancel the policy. Only available in some states.
Protect Yourself from the Unique Risks Experts Face
When you make a living off your expertise, you need comprehensive, cost-effective insurance to protect you financially from damages or legal costs that may arise. Professional liability (E&O) insurance, also known as errors and omissions or professional indemnity insurance, provides the coverage you need.
Getting Coverage is Simple with Secure.Insure.com
· As a professional, it’s your responsibility to adhere to certain standards and best practices for your industry. If a client feels that you made a mistake or oversight with your services, they could claim that you didn’t meet those standards and sue your company for economic damages. Errors and omissions insurance protects you in the event that a client accuses your business of making a mistake (an error) or failing to do something (an omission) – even if that claim proves to be unfounded.
Professional liability (E&O) insurance from Stefanelli Insurance Brokerage helps protect your business if you made a mistake (error) or failed to perform a service (omission). Professional indemnity insurance, another name for professional liability insurance, also covers the related defense costs, even from groundless claims. Claims can include the following scenarios:
Unfulfilled Promises, this is when you make a promise that doesn’t come to fruition for a customer, such as when you say your app will back up their data and it fails to do so.
Negligence is the failure to use proper care in performing a task. An example would be that you are careless in handling a client’s data and it is stolen.
Errors, in this instance, you’re being held responsible for a mistake made by you or your employee that caused your client a financial loss.
In each instance, professional liability (E&O) insurance covers the costs for legal defense and damages. Plus, Stefanelli Financial LLC provides an attorney to represent you by the insurance carrier which will also cover client damages – including punitive damages, if permitted by law in your state. Punitive damages can be quite high, as they are assessed by courts on top of other damages. This is an effort to punish those allegedly at fault even further. If your state allows these damages to be covered by an insurance policy, Stefanelli Financial LLC covers up to the policy limit.
If you want to ensure that your small business has financial protection from unforeseen claims, general liability insurance is a smart investment. While it’s not always required by law, it may be required by certain contracts or lease arrangements. With a general liability policy from Stefanelli Insurance Brokerage, it’s easy to get protection from the costs of:
When customer property is damaged by an employee, your coverage may pay for a replacement. For example: Your contractor accidentally sets fire to a building they are working in, and repair costs will exceed $150,000. Now, you may be liable to pay for the damages and construction costs. With small business general liability insurance from Stefanelli Insurance Brokerage, you would likely have help covering the costs of those damages.
If someone other than an employee is injured on your property, this coverage can take care of medical expenses plus legal expenses and damages.
If products developed or sold by your business harm people or property, this coverage can pay legal expenses associated with product liability lawsuits and medical expenses if an injury occurs.
This coverage can pay for lawsuit expenses from personal and advertising injury. Advertising injury can include disparaging another business in your advertisements, stealing an advertising idea, and more.
At SFIBCO.com, we understand small business owners and the challenges you face every day. We also know that no two businesses are completely alike, so we don’t try to put you in a one-size-fits-all insurance policy.
When you get a quote for small business insurance from SFIBCO.com, we look at a number of factors to determine the best level of coverage for you, including your industry, business size, and more. Our goal is to give you only the coverage you need now—and we can grow that coverage as your business grows.
You could still benefit from general liability insurance as a freelancer, contractor, or home business owner because you face many of the same risks as brick-and-mortar businesses. General liability insurance can be important to your small business because:
Freelancers, contractors, and home business owners can be sued for damaging client property or causing injury. A general liability policy covers related costs.
State and federal law requires general liability insurance for independent contractors in certain industries such as construction
Some companies require that contractors and freelancers have insurance because it protects the company from financial loss due to their actions
What Does General Liability Insurance Cost for Small Businesses?
It's affordable coverage that protects your small business from financial harm and can help you sleep better at night.
This type of coverage, also called a business owner’s policy (BOP), is a simplified approach to commercial insurance for small businesses. By combining general liability insurance and commercial property insurance, along with other coverages, you could benefit in several ways:
Your Coverage is Broader
General Liability Insurance Typically Covers:
· Property Damage. When customer property is damaged by an employee, your coverage may help pay for repairs or replacement.
· Bodily Injury. If someone other than an employee is injured on your property, this coverage can help with medical expenses plus legal expenses and damages.
· Product Liability. If products developed or sold by your business harm people or property, this coverage could help pay legal expenses associated with product liability lawsuits and medical expenses if an injury occurs.
· Libel, Slander, and Copyright. This coverage helps protect you against some lawsuit expenses from personal and advertising injury. Advertising injury can include disparaging another business in your advertisements, stealing an advertising idea, and more.
Property Insurance Typically Covers:
· You’re Building or Leased Space. This coverage provides protection for the building you own or even a building where you are required to provide insurance coverage as part of the lease.
· The Contents of Your Building. Property insurance can cover inventory, equipment, or tools and other people’s property in your building that has been damaged by an employee, yourself, theft, natural disaster, or weather.
· Income from Your Business. In the event of a disruption or property damage, you may be covered for the expenses needed to resume business, including covering net income, payroll costs, and even temporary business relocation.
Yes. Your property and liability policy can be customized by adding an endorsement. An endorsement can either enhance or modify the coverage, depending on your requirements. Don’t know what you need? Our licensed experts are available to help you figure out which of these endorsements is right for you:
Industry Endorsements
Depending on the industry you’re in, there are specific needs that arise as part of conducting business. For example, a restaurant industry endorsement might cover food spoilage. A retail store endorsement might cover expenses from having to withdraw merchandise. A hotel or motel endorsement might increase coverage for outdoor fences and signs.
Risk-Specific Endorsements
Some businesses have inherent risks beyond what’s usually covered in a property and liability insurance policy. There are dozens of risk-specific endorsements that can add an extra layer of protection when needed, like cyber coverage, garage keepers0’ legal liability, miscellaneous professional liability (E&O), and more.
Increased Coverage Limits
If you want even greater security and protection, standard coverage limits can often be increased.
While property and liability coverage are not required by law, some client contracts or property leases might require you to have a general liability or property liability policy. In addition to the standard financial protections, a property and liability policy from Stefanelli Insurance Brokerage0 can help cover needs specific to your business.
Be Confident in Your Coverage
For example: Say you own a painting or construction business. On a regular job, one of your employees accidentally leaves the water running in a customer’s home, and it causes significant damage. Not only are you responsible for paying for the repairs, you also run the risk of being sued by the customer and having to pay legal fees. Expenses like these could come up at any time without warning, so without proper coverage, the business you’ve worked so hard to maintain could take a big hit financially.
Our policies start as low about $500 and based on the factors below is how your premiums are calculating.
Calculating Your Premium
All of these factors are considered when calculating your premium:
· Business activities
· Number of employees
· Annual revenue
· Condition and size of the building your business is located in
· Industry
· Number of years in business
· Claims history
How can I Reduce Costs?

By working with SFIBCO.COM we will shop around and eliminate fees and other charges. Plus, our experts can help review your policies annually to ensure you have the right amount and type of coverage.
Save on Billing Fees
Pay your annual premium in full, or sign up for automatic payments at the beginning of the policy.
Actively Manage Risks
Prevent slips and falls (the most common general liability claim) by instructing your employees to maintain a clean environment. You can also manage risks by ensuring your employees are up to date on any necessary training—like how to properly operate machinery, for example.
Protect Your Property
If you want even greater security and protection, standard coverage limits often can be increased.

Protect Your Commercial Vehicles
Being aware of what type of insurance a business needs is important, and deciding whether your business even requires a commercial auto policy can be challenging. We can help you assess your needs and evaluate your options.
Vehicles used in conducting business, as opposed to those strictly for personal use, are typically insured under a commercial auto insurance policy, which protects the assets of a company from claims. A commercial auto insurance policy has different coverages that are designed to address particular business needs.
Both commercial vehicle insurance policies and personal auto policies provide coverage for liability, collision, comprehensive, medical payments (or personal injury protection), and uninsured motorist exposures (sometimes underinsured motorist, too). However, a commercial auto insurance policy may be very different from your personal auto policy due to separate eligibility criteria, definitions, coverages, exclusions, and limits.
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage
This coverage provides payment in cases of bodily injury or death resulting from an accident for which you are at fault. This may also include legal defense expenses depending on the type of policy purchased.
Property Damage Liability Coverage
If your vehicle accidentally causes damage to another person’s vehicle, this coverage can protect you. That can include legal defense expenses depending on the type of policy purchased.
Combined Single Limit (CSL)
Liability policies provide different maximum dollar amounts that the insurer will pay for different components of a claim. A combined single limit policy states that the insurer will pay up to a certain dollar amount for the entire claim. It doesn’t matter whether all components of the claim are related to one person’s injuries, or whether there are multiple injured parties represented by the claim. The combined single limit is capped at the stated dollar amount either way for that claim.
Medical Payments, No-Fault or Personal Injury Coverage
This coverage provides payment for any medical expenses that may arise due to an employee or a passenger travelling in your vehicle, regardless of who is at fault in an accident.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
This coverage provides payment for any medical expenses, or in some cases property damage, that may have been caused by a hit-and-run driver or an uninsured driver. Underinsured motorist coverage (when the at-fault driver has insurance but not sufficient insurance to cover the damage caused) may also be included depending on the type of policy.
Comprehensive Physical Damage Coverage
Damage resulting from theft, vandalism, flood, fire, and other specified hazards is addressed by this coverage.
Collision Coverage
This coverage provides payment for damage resulting from being hit by or hitting another object.

An umbrella policy helps cover costs associated with:
· Bodily injury and related medical expenses
· Product liability
· Customer property damage
· Libel, slander, and copyright infringement
· Defending against a lawsuit
In New York Umbrella is known as Commercial Excess.
When you have a claim that exceeds the limits of your current policy, umbrella insurance provides extra coverage to protect your business and assets from financial risk. At SFIBCO.com, umbrella insurance is available with existing liability policies.
Keep in mind that umbrella insurance can only be applied to a claim if two things happen:
1. You already have the appropriate underlying policy.
For example, if you have general liability with an umbrella policy but you don't have commercial auto insurance, then your umbrella policy only covers those items covered by general liability.
2. The limits of that policy have been reached.
Help Your Business with an Umbrella Policy
For example, let’s say Company X is being sued because a customer was severely injured after falling down the stairs when a railing collapsed. She wants Company X to pay her medical bills, loss of wages, and other damages—a total cost of about $2 million. The legal battle drags on, and Company X’s general liability policy maxes out at $1 million. Without their umbrella insurance policy, Company X would be responsible for the extra $1 million out of pocket if a $2 million verdict is reached. With an umbrella insurance policy, they’re covered for an additional $1 million.

What does your pet insurance cover?
With illness coverage, you can get reimbursed for the costs of major and minor illnesses, such as cancer, arthritis, hypothyroidism, ear infections, digestive problems, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). It can cover expenses for everything from diagnosing the health condition to the treatments your pet needs to get better..
Like human health insurance, pet insurance companies help alleviate some of the costs of keeping your pet healthy. You can choose from different levels of coverage, with each plan costing a monthly or annual premium based on how much coverage you choose.
5 pet insurance benefits
Like any type of insurance policy there are pros and cons associated with pet insurance. Here are a few advantages of pet insurance.
1. You can go to your preferred veterinarian
Unlike your own health insurance that requires you to visit an in-network physician, pet insurance doesn't enforce the same restrictions. You can visit any licensed vet or specialist and your pet can be seen at any vet clinic or hospital for care.
2. You’ll get financial relief
Depending on the insurance coverage you choose, pet insurance can help alleviate the financial burden of unforeseen veterinary costs. Some pet insurance options cover 70% to 90% of your claim, and a few insurers even cover 100% of costs (although this is rarer to find).
3. More employers are offering pet insurance
The American Pet Products Association’s latest survey found that millennials are currently the largest generation of pet owners. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that some employers are adding pet insurance plans to their list of employee benefits.
4. You can customize coverage
Pet insurance offers the flexibility of creating a coverage plan to meet your pet’s specific needs. You can often combine different tiers of pet insurance plans (for example, accident and illness). Insurers also provide you the option of choosing your deductible amounts based on your budget.
5. You’ll gain confidence knowing you have protection
Seeing your pet injured or in pain is already difficult to get through. Facing a sudden $2,000 procedure that you can’t afford can put you in an even more heartbreaking situation. No one wants to have to make the painful choice between paying the mortgage or losing a cherished companion.
Pet insurance can provide financial support for pet parents so they don’t have to put a price limit on their pet’s life
