Written by Running a business in Alabama is exciting, rewarding, and full of potential, but it also comes with risks. From unpredictable weather events to unexpected lawsuits and employee injuries, a single incident can jeopardize everything you’ve worked for. That’s why having the right business insurance isn’t just a smart choice; it’s essential for your long-term success.
At Bates, Roberts, Fowlkes & Jackson Insurance Agency, we understand what it takes to protect Alabama businesses. With decades of experience serving local companies, we’ve become the trusted name in business insurance across the state.
Why Business Insurance Matters in Alabama
Alabama’s economy is diverse, covering everything from small family-owned restaurants to large manufacturing firms. Each type of business faces unique challenges, yet all share one common need: protection.
Whether it’s a fire, theft, storm damage, or a customer accident, business insurance ensures your company can recover without facing devastating financial losses.
Here’s what comprehensive business insurance can protect you from:
-
Property damage due to fire, storms, or vandalism
-
Customer or employee injury claims
-
Lawsuits or legal liabilities
-
Equipment breakdowns or inventory loss
-
Business interruptions after disasters
With the right coverage in place, you can focus on growing your business instead of worrying about unexpected setbacks.
Types of Business Insurance Coverage We Offer
At Bates, Roberts, Fowlkes & Jackson Insurance Agency, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every Alabama business is different, and we tailor your coverage to match your specific needs.
Here are the key types of protection we provide:
1. General Liability Insurance
This essential coverage protects your business if someone is injured on your property or if you cause damage to another person’s property. It covers legal fees, settlements, and medical costs.
2. Commercial Property Insurance
From hurricanes to tornadoes, Alabama weather can be unpredictable. Commercial property insurance protects your building, equipment, inventory, and physical assets against natural disasters, theft, and vandalism.
3. Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Required by Alabama law for businesses with five or more employees, workers’ compensation covers medical expenses and lost wages if an employee gets injured on the job. It also helps protect you from potential lawsuits.
4. Professional Liability Insurance
Also known as Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance, this coverage is designed for businesses that provide professional services or advice. It protects against claims of negligence or mistakes that result in client losses.
5. Business Interruption Insurance
If a covered disaster forces your business to close temporarily, this coverage helps replace lost income and cover ongoing expenses until you’re back on your feet.
6. Commercial Auto Insurance
If your business relies on vehicles for deliveries or services, this coverage protects your company vehicles and drivers against accidents and damage.
