- Commercial General Liability – Basic liability insurance that can cover you in the event someone is hurt or has their property damaged at your business.
- Product Liability – If the product fails to perform its function or causes damage to a person or their belongings, this coverage can protect you. You may opt for a specialized manufacturer’s errors & omissions coverage which is tailored for this industry.
- Equipment Breakdown – This provides coverage to replace or repair essential equipment for your operations.

The legally required commercial auto insurance in Alberta includes third-party liability, accident benefits and direct compensation property damage. We also have optional coverages available.
Exactly what’s covered will depend on your individual needs and your insurance policy. The above isn’t an exhaustive list of coverage – our Red Deer manufacturers insurance brokers will have more details about your options.
