Not All Insurance Companies Will Insure The Bicycle Industry to The Extent They Need to Be Covered

CSA Insurance offers advice and coverage for the bicycle industry.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 3, 2008 -- There are a limited number of insurance companies that provide insurance for companies involved in the manufacturing, distribution and retail sales of bicycles and their components.

"Bicycle manufacturers, distributors and retailers need to protect their assets. They are providing a product to the public and if something were to go wrong, their business would be at stake. Bicycle Industry Insurance (http://www.csainsurance.com/quotes/bicyclemanufacturersinsurance.htm) limits that risk," advised Ernie Seubert, bicycle industry insurance expert and Executive Vice President of CSA Insurance.

What Coverage Should Bicycle Manufacturers, Distributors and Retailers Seek?

They should obtain coverage that contains adequate protection on their business property and liability protection, including products liability. Specifically they should obtain the following coverage:

1.    Business Property - including their inventory, fixtures, machinery, tools, and improvements made to the premises. Building property would be included for owners of buildings.

2.    Business Interruption Insurance - covers the lost income resulting from a fire or other catastrophe that disrupts the operation of the business. It can also include the extra expense of operating out of a temporary location.

3.    Liability Protection - covers a company's legal responsibility for the harm it may cause to others. This harm is a result of things that the company or its employees do or fail to do in their business operations that may cause bodily injury or property damage due to defective products, faulty installations and errors in services provided.
