General Liability Insurance

General Liability Insurance, also called Commercial Liability Insurance, protects you and/or your business from claims of bodily injury and property damage that may arise during your production. It is a policy that covers third-party lawsuits that may occur during a claim. A “third party” can be anyone other than the insured’s employees and workers. With our General Liability Insurance, your business can rest easy knowing that you are protected from a wide range of potential liability issues.

What Does General Liability Insurance Cover?

At minimum, General Liability covers the cost of investigating claims and defending against third-party lawsuits. It pays attorney fees, court costs, witness fees, settlements, and court-ordered judgments. The policy may also cover an injured party’s immediate medical expenses and the cost of repairing or replacing their damaged property.

For example: A person strolls into your set and slips on the just-mopped floors. If they sustain bodily injuries, they may be able to sue you for medical expenses. In the event that situation arises, your client can make a claim on their General Liability policy to cover litigation costs.

Commercial Automobile Insurance

Commercial Automobile Insurance covers owned, hired, borrowed and or non-owned vehicles while used in your business. There are two main components to auto coverage, Liability and Physical Damage. Auto Liability is included to cover you against bodily injury and property damage done to others while the Physical Damage (comprehensive & collision) covers you against theft and damage to the vehicle.

How Does Commercial Auto Insurance Apply To My Business?

It’s simple, if anyone working for you uses their own vehicle or a rented vehicle, you are responsible for the vehicle and the people in the vehicle. You are also responsible for any vehicles that are involved in an accident.

For example: One of your employees (full time or part-time) decides to take their personal vehicle to pick up lunch. During the car ride, your employee gets into an accident and causes damage to another person’s body and car. Commercial Auto Insurance covers damages caused to both parties.

Workers Compensation Insurance

post office with business insurance where an employee slipped and broke his kneeWorkers Compensation Insurance, sometimes called “workers comp” is a program mandated by the state which consists of payments (required by law) to be made to a worker or employee who is injured or disabled in connection to their work. Our Business Insurance consultants will educate you on your industries specific rules and regulations to ensure that your business is properly covered. MFE Insurance makes sure that your business acquires the appropriate amount of coverage needed at an affordable rate.

What Does Workers Compensation Insurance Cover?

Each individual state has its own worker’s compensation insurance program, so the coverage details can vary per state. At minimum, workers compensation covers the medical costs from the injury or illness, replacement income, costs to retrain, compensation for any permanent injuries, and benefits to survivors of workers who are killed on the job.

For example: An employee slips and falls while they are working for you (this can be anywhere — at the office, in the field, on their way home from work, etc). Your business’s workers compensation insurance covers the medical bills and the wages they would have received during the days they are scheduled to work.

Errors & Omissions Insurance

Errors & Omissions Insurance, also referred to Professional Liability or E&O Business Insurance, protects your business against an error or omission while rendering a professional service or delivering a product. Typically, E&O Insurance policies are intended to cover financial losses, rather than bodily injury or property damage. E&O Insurance as a part of MF’s BusinesssE Insurance protects your business from situations where errors are made to a product or while conducting a service that could potentially cause liability issues.

How Does E&O Insurance Apply To My Business?

E&O Insurance protects you and your company from lawsuits of alleged libel, slander, defamation, of character or invasion of privacy. E&O Insurance also protects you and your business from lawsuits that occur due to unauthorized use of titles, formats, ideas, characters, plots, plagiarism, unfair competition or privacy, and breach of contract.

Directors & Officers Insurance

Directors & Officers Insurance, also known as D&O, is a form of liability insurance that covers the executives and the company for claims resulting from their management decisions. Should any unfortunate claim arise within your business, the addition of D&O Insurance provides valuable protection to the accused executive and your business as a whole. Examples of D&O claims include but are not limited to: breach of fiduciary duty, failure to comply with workplace laws, theft of intellectual property and misrepresentation.

How Does Directors & Officers Insurance Apply To My Business?

Say the COO of your company is accused of theft of intellectual property. With D&O Insurance, the COO and the company as a whole is protected. This policy also attracts and retains outside directors and officers by reducing the exposure of risks associated with the industry.

Employee Benefits Liability Insurance

With Employee Benefits Liability Insurance, any errors or omissions in the activation or application of your company’s employee benefit program is covered. MFE Employee Benefits Liability Insurance covers health and life insurance, retirement plans, and any other benefits offered by your company through the employee benefit program.

How Does Employee Benefits Liability Insurance Apply To My Business?

Say a new employee signs up for your company’s health insurance plan, and has somehow been forgotten to be added to your company’s plan. The new employee files a medical claim and is denied coverage by the health insurance provider because there is no record of the new employee having any insurance plan. With Employee Benefits Liability Insurance, the coverage would be paid for, that would have normally been covered if the health insurance plan was activated.

EPL policies can also include wage and hour coverage, which pays the defense costs for allegations relating to failure to pay overtime.

How Does EPL Insurance Apply To My Business?

Say an employee files a discrimination claim against you because he or she thinks they did not receive a raise they believed they deserved due to their gender.

It is best practice to educate yourself on all facets of employment law, for potential claims that may arise.

I've worked with many insurance companies over the years for production insurance on feature films. Once I found MFE, I never looked back. Not only is there pricing competitive (and typically better than many other brokers), Alec and his staff are amazing, quick to reply, and fast to assist. And they make all your insurance needs for production run smooth and easy. I couldn't recommend a better broker.

I've been working with Alec and his team for years. They provide our production insurance and throughout the entire process, including a handful of claims, I've always felt informed, supported, and taken care of. Can't recommend MFE enough - these guys are the ones you want in your corner. They know the best insurance policies and will help manage any claims that arise.
