A client comes into your salon on the day of her wedding to get her hair done. Despite your hairdresser’s best efforts, the customer is extremely unhappy with the end result. She subsequently sues you saying you ruined her wedding day.
It’s the beginning of the year and you have picked up a number of new clients looking to get in shape. In the 10 years, you have been a personal fitness trainer you have never had a client get injured because of an exercise you recommended. That streak has come to an end as your most recent client says his back is injured because of a certain movement you had him due.
It’s springtime and your mobile car-wash and detailing business is starting to take off. Business is going great as you are getting a reputation for specializing in cleaning high-end vehicles. You are working on a client’s sports car and start to strip the wax using an orbital polisher. You didn’t check the pad and a tiny rock got caught in the fibers creating major scratches in the paint.
Are you covered?
Insurance isn’t always simple.
Having an independent agent on your side means you have a policy catered specifically for your service business. And as your needs change, we can change right along with you.
