Section 3 of 4
Liability & Additional Coverages
Beyond property, these gaps cause real financial pain after a loss.
Do you have an Ordinance or Law endorsement?
Covers the extra cost of rebuilding to current building codes after a loss. Without it, you pay the code-upgrade gap out of pocket.
Do you have Equipment Breakdown coverage?
Standard property policies exclude mechanical or electrical breakdown. This covers HVAC, boilers, compressors, and key equipment.
Does your policy include Flood coverage?
Standard commercial property policies exclude flood. It must be added separately through NFIP or a private carrier.
How long ago did you last review your coverage with your agent?
Coverage gaps grow silently — rising construction costs, new equipment, and business growth all create exposure.
