5 Do you have a holistic solution? When it comes to protecting your business, the stakes could not be higher. You need more than just an insurance policy you need a customized solution that offers distinct advantages. Cross Border Will your claim be paid if you have an accident in California or New York? Insurance rules and regulations vary from country to country and, in the U.S., from state to state. If you have operations outside Canada, you may need local admitted policies or risk exposing your enterprise to significant tax liabilities or unpaid claims. Zurich has in depth knowledge of local insurance requirements, and our products are designed to help you get the compliant solution you need wherever you operate. Zurich s cross border offering will help avoid the risk of your policy being declared non-compliant and void by local authorities, resulting in disputed claims and restitution obligations. Zurich s breadth of cross border product offerings includes: Property; Casualty; Automobile; Equipment Breakdown, including coverage for warehouses and refrigerator breakdown; Environmental; and Directors & Officers Liability. Intermodal Containers Who s responsible if the container is lost in transit? If you re using multiple modes of transportation, you may need insurance for the intermodal containers carrying your freight. Zurich offers a new intermodal container equipment endorsement to provide coverage for intermodal containers (not the cargo contained within) under an Inland Marine Property form. This endorsement is available for Transportation packages when coverage is required for non-owned intermodal containers and there are no restrictions based on class. This endorsement applies only in the event that the automobile policy does not respond. Please speak to your underwriter or broker for additional details. Environmental Liability Has your yard been the victim of phantom dumping? Phantom dumping or a spill from your neighbour it doesn t matter: You re responsible if there s pollution on your property. Whether you re opening a new terminal and find contamination or you re closing a terminal and you need to clean it up to sell the property, Zurich can help. Through our long-term commitment, specialized products and dedicated underwriters who have the knowledge and expertise of environmental exposures, Zurich can help you identify and insure exposures you may not even know you have. D&O Liability Did you know that bankruptcy doesn t relieve you of many financial obligations? A Directors & Officers (D&O) policy is an important addition to any insurance program today. While most companies provide indemnity coverage for their Board members, you can t count on that coverage if the company declares bankruptcy. Zurich s D&O coverage provides the legal defence you may need and a payout for personal financial obligations if required. Zurich can also offer supporting financial lines coverages for Employment Practices Liability and Fiduciary Liability.
