Business Insurance Market Faces COVID-19

10/6/2020

​Market conditions of insurances are affected as they face the troubling effects of the pandemic. In the first few months of 2020, insurances experienced challenging market conditions. Prices of premiums increased, and coverage restrictions became common. Consumers should expect around 20-50% increase in prices. In this article are the key points on what types of business insurance are deeply affected.
Major Types of Business Insurance Affected
Buyers of insurance will experience hard market conditions. However, these types may also develop to provide greater coverage for consumers of business insurances.

  1. Property Insurance
    Prices of premiums are continuously increasing regardless of the quality provided in a construction. Coverage terms were tightened to provide greater situations on communicable disease exclusions.

  2. Excess Liability Insurance
    Businesses that purchased excess liability insurance to protect their balance sheets were deemed difficult to acquire. Insurers are now maximizing their policies at $10 million and require the occurrence coverage from $1 million to $2 million.

  3. Directors and Officers Coverage (D&O)
    Both premium and deductible increases are present businesses purchased for personal protection to their board and management teams. Regardless of the company's size, they can expect a $1 million deductible before the coverage settles. 

    Even before the pandemic, the D&O market was already difficult. Considering the distress of many businesses caused by the economic slope, it was expected that there would be an increase in shareholder claims.

  4. Employment Practices Liability Insurance
    Claims for this type of insurance have increased. Employment lawsuits claiming discrimination or unequal work from home/leave conditions have risen dramatically in recent weeks.

    More disruption may also occur throughout the pandemic that faces business interruption losses. There are business owners that ran out of business due to financial challenges. With the right choice of insurer, chances to salvage losses are present for the future of the business, employer, and its employees.

Conclusion

During this time of need, businesses are trying to conserve cash to survive the pandemic. Business owners need to consider the risks and factors through consulting with their insurance broker. Companies should be served by brokers that genuinely understand the needs of the client.
