Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to questions you may have. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us here.

What types of assets are covered by business asset insurance in Louisiana?
+
-

Business asset insurance in Louisiana typically covers a wide range of property, including buildings, equipment, inventory, furniture, and electronics. Given Louisiana's unique environmental risks, such as hurricanes and flooding, policies often include specific coverage for water damage and wind damage. Some insurers also offer coverage for specialized equipment used in Louisiana's prominent industries like oil and gas, fishing, and agriculture.

How does Louisiana's location affect business asset insurance rates?
+
-

Louisiana's geographical location significantly impacts insurance rates due to its high risk of natural disasters. The state's vulnerability to hurricanes, storm surges, and flooding, especially in coastal areas and the New Orleans region, typically results in higher premiums. Insurers often use sophisticated risk models that factor in proximity to water bodies, elevation, and historical weather data to determine rates for specific locations within Louisiana.

Is flood coverage included in standard business asset insurance policies in Louisiana?
+
-

Standard business asset insurance policies in Louisiana typically do not include flood coverage. Given the state's high flood risk, especially in areas like the Mississippi Delta and low-lying coastal regions, business owners often need to purchase separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or private insurers. Some Louisiana insurers offer specialized policies that combine traditional asset coverage with flood protection.

What additional coverages should Louisiana businesses consider for asset protection?
+
-

Louisiana businesses should consider additional coverages such as business interruption insurance, which is crucial during hurricane season when operations may be disrupted. Equipment breakdown coverage is important for industries relying on specialized machinery. Given the state's coastal location, marine insurance is vital for businesses in the shipping or fishing industries. Pollution liability insurance is also recommended, especially for businesses in the oil and gas sector prevalent in Louisiana.

How can Louisiana businesses lower their asset insurance premiums?
+
-

Louisiana businesses can lower asset insurance premiums by implementing risk mitigation strategies. This includes installing storm shutters or impact-resistant glass, elevating equipment in flood-prone areas, and upgrading to wind-resistant roofing. Many insurers offer discounts for businesses with robust security systems and fire suppression equipment. Some parishes in Louisiana offer property tax deductions for storm mitigation improvements, which can offset insurance costs.

What are the legal requirements for business asset insurance in Louisiana?
+
-

While Louisiana law doesn't mandate business asset insurance, it's often required by lenders, landlords, or business contracts. However, the state does require certain businesses to carry specific types of insurance. For example, contractors must have general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Oil and gas companies operating in Louisiana waters must demonstrate financial responsibility, often through insurance. It's crucial to consult with a Louisiana-licensed insurance agent to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
