What types of insurance policies does The Hartford provide?
Below are key insurance products offered by The Hartford. You can also explore all business insurance policies provided through TechInsurance.
Business owner's policy
A business owner's policy bundles general liability coverage and commercial property insurance into one policy. It is a cost effective choice, often cheaper than buying these insurance policies separately.
Workers' compensation insurance
Workers' compensation insurance covers medical bills and other expenses related to work-related injuries. It also helps pay for lost wages if you or an employee are unable to work during recovery.
Most states require small businesses to purchase workers' comp as soon as you hire your first employee.
General liability insurance
General liability insurance protects against the most common third-party lawsuits, such as bodily injuries, property damage, and advertising injuries (e.g., copyright infringement). It's often the first type of business insurance coverage that small businesses get.
Commercial auto insurance
Commercial auto insurance covers the cost of accidents that involve company-owned cars, including medical bills, property damage, and lawsuits from other drivers. Every state, except for New Hampshire and Virginia, requires that businesses with company vehicles have commercial auto insurance.
If you use a personal, rented, or leased vehicle to complete work errands, then you should get hired and non-owned auto insurance (HNOA). This policy will offer you the protection you'll need, as personal auto insurance will likely not cover you if you're involved in an accident.
Errors and omissions insurance
Businesses that offer a professional service or give advice to clients need errors and omissions insurance (E&O). This coverage can help protect against dissatisfied clients who file a lawsuit over a mistake, missed deadline, or another complaint related to the quality of your work.
You may sometimes see this policy referred to as professional liability insurance or malpractice insurance, depending on the profession.
Commercial umbrella insurance
Commercial umbrella insurance provides an extra layer of protection by offering additional coverage for:
- General liability insurance
- Employer's liability insurance (part of workers’ compensation insurance)
- Hired and non-owned auto insurance
Umbrella coverage boosts your liability limits in $1 million increments and is often needed in order to fulfill a contract that requires higher than standard policy limits.
