FAQs

Commercial insurance for companies operating in the Retail industry includes risk-transfer products that help protect property, business operations, workers, reputation and more.
The retail industry is growing and the way they do business continues to evolve. Retailers have unique exposures from a property and casualty perspective. Potential risks for retailers from a property perspective include stock/inventory management with challenges with modernized order fulfillment, automated warehouse racking systems, stock in transit, and an increasing challenge with shrinkage. Casualty exposures can range from storefront slip/trip/fall premises liability, products liability from a private label product or statutory chain-of-commerce laws, employee injuries, and automobile liability. Technology-related exposures with e-commerce platforms are now a fundamental part of retail operations.
