Q: Do I need "All Risk" Insurance?

The answer is 'Yes' if the following applies:

  • You want to better protect against loss.

  • You want to expand coverage to cover commonly excluded commodities, like alcoholic beverages, frozen and chilled produce, over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, and fireworks.

  • You want to have something that acts like spike/gap insurance, increasing limits—and in real-time.

  • You want to be paid for the full invoice value of your load, if you want the certificate holder in a “First Party Position” during the claims process, and if you want to protect against many threats not covered by carrier liability policies (too common to list here).
