PROPERTY & CASUALTY PRODUCTS
Polices available through carriers we are appointed with provide protection for houses of worship and other faith-based entities. These policies typically provide liability protection to clergy, employees, officials and trustees (appointed or elected), members, authorized and controlled church organizations, and volunteers for property damage, bodily injury, sexual misconduct and molestation, and personal injury (i.e., slander, liable, etc.) per the policy provisions.
The following provides basic definitions for coverages offered by our carriers. Please always refer to your policy forms and documents for actual definitions, provisions, and governing terms and conditions for actual coverages.
