Personal and business assets could be seized to pay medical bills, lost wages, and damages. General liability coverage is essential.
Can we reduce insurance costs without reducing coverage?
Yes. Invest in risk mitigation—lighting, cameras, monitoring, maintenance. These improvements reduce claim frequency and earn insurance discounts.
Is garage keeper's liability necessary?
Yes, if customers park vehicles in your lot. A single high-value vehicle theft or damage claim can exceed the annual premium cost.
How often should we review and update insurance?
Annually minimum. Update coverage when property value increases, you add infrastructure, or incident frequency changes.
How much does a comprehensive insurance package cost?
100-space urban lot: approximately $16,600 annually ($13.83/space/month) covering general liability, property, garage keeper's, workers comp, and umbrella.
