 If your company uses drones or plans to use them as part of your operations, you are faced with a unique set of risks that can leave you exposed to a variety of possible liabilities.
 Even if you have company cars or a fleet of vans, occasions may arise that require an employee to run an errand in their personal vehicle or one of your employees needs to rent a car while on a business trip visiting a client.
 When you're in the construction industry you already have lots to worry about: Keeping your workers safe in one of the most dangerous industries, uninsured or underinsured subcontractors, and finding experienced employees from a shrinking pool of talent.
 A majority of companies are leaving themselves exposed to lawsuits as they take on high-end professional services work and demands grow for expedited deadlines.
 If you are just getting a business off the ground, have bought equipment and started hiring employees, insurance should be top of mind.
 As a business owner you area already know you need to protect against and plan for external supply chain risks. These risks are often out of your control as they can affect suppliers or transportation providers, as well as transportation networks and infrastructure.
 The safe use of heavy equipment is critical when machinery such as bulldozers, graders or ground-moving equipment is used in the construction of new homes, bridges, shopping malls or other commercial buildings.
 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now classifies drowsy driving as "impaired" driving, putting it in the same category as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
 Business insurance can get complicated. Businesses need to protect themselves against damage to their property, income they may lose if they have to shut down after their property is damaged, and the risk of lawsuits.
 Even businesses that own fleets of autos sometimes use vehicles that do not belong to them. Often, a company asks an employee to run an errand or visit a customer or vendor using that employee's car.
