Key Components of Public Entity Coverage
Managing a public organization involves protecting physical assets, employees, and the public trust. We customize your plan to include the specific coverages required for your operations.
General Liability: Protects the entity against claims of bodily injury or property damage arising from premises, operations, or completed acts.
Public Officials Liability (E&O): Provides essential protection for elected officials, board members, and employees against claims of "wrongful acts," including errors or omissions in the performance of their duties.
Employment Practices Liability: Safeguards your organization against claims related to the employment process, such as wrongful termination, discrimination, or harassment.
Property & Infrastructure Coverage: Protects government buildings, water treatment plants, parks, and other essential structures against perils like fire, wind, and vandalism.
Automobile & Fleet Coverage: Comprehensive protection for city-owned vehicles, including police cruisers, fire trucks, and maintenance fleets.
Cyber Liability: In an increasingly digital world, this covers the costs associated with data breaches, ransomware, and the protection of sensitive citizen information.
Navigating Unique Risks and Local Needs
Public entities operate under a microscope, and standard commercial policies often fall short of meeting statutory requirements. Our agents provide expert guidance on specialized endorsements, such as Law Enforcement Liability for local police departments or Special Event Coverage for community festivals and parades.
We also understand the environmental and geographical risks specific to our region. Whether it’s assessing the need for specialized flood coverage for municipal property or ensuring your workers' compensation plan is optimized for public works employees, we offer the local insight necessary for true financial security. By bundling your various coverages under one managed plan, we help you streamline administration and maximize the value of your insurance spend.

When a claim arises or a legal challenge is mounted against your entity, you need a team that understands the nuances of public risk. Our experienced agents advocate on your behalf, coordinating with carriers to ensure claims are handled with the efficiency and transparency the public expects.
As your community grows and your services evolve, whether you are breaking ground on a new park or upgrading your utility infrastructure, we are here to adjust your coverage to match.

FAQS
FAQ for Public Entity Insurance
Does a standard liability policy cover the decisions made by our board members?
No, standard general liability usually excludes professional "wrongful acts." You typically need Public Officials Liability (Errors and Omissions) to protect your leadership from claims regarding their official decision-making.
Are our volunteers covered under our agency’s policy?
In many cases, volunteers can be included as "insureds" under your liability and workers' compensation frameworks, but it often requires specific policy language. We can review your current plan to ensure your volunteer workforce is protected.
How does Cyber Liability protect a municipality?
It helps cover the costs of notifying citizens of a breach, legal fees, data recovery, and even public relations efforts to restore trust in the event that government systems are compromised.
