Common Commercial Property Claims
Some of the most common commercial property claims aren’t always business related, sometimes it’s just damage to the property, or it can be as serious as theft. Many different damages can fall under the cloak of commercial property claims.
- Business Interruption – claims are among some of the highest because any damage can interrupt business if you must close or can’t operate due to unsafe conditions in the workplace.
- Burglary and Theft – many businesses experience theft and burglary. This is not always on a large scale such as a stick-up situation, but can also just be monetary losses from employee thefts or other thefts. Always take adequate measures such as alarm systems and surveillance so that you can make a proper claim for your business.
