BIG STORM = BIG MESS = BIG BUCKS FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY INSUREDS By Kevin C. Amrhein, CIC It’s September, and Americans are gearing up for the usual traditions: enjoying/recovering from football games, Labor Day vacays, and stressful evenings with Jim Cantore (if you don’t know this name then 1) you’re lucky, and 2) you should Google him because he haunts my dreams and it’s only fair that you experience the same).

Hurricane Season traditionally peaks in September, and I’m hopeful that your experience so far has been tame. But anyone who knows me knows I never miss an opportunity to tell anyone of two essentials: 1) some of the most powerful storms in American history have hit in September or later, and 2) your commercial property insureds absolutely do not understand Debris Removal insurance. SEPTEMBER 2021
It’s likely I’ve written about this one coverage issue more often than any other. After seeing so many insureds and their agents have horrible claims experiences with it, I swore long ago to pound the Debris Removal drum as often as possible. I’m hopeful the info that follows will help you keep your commercial property insureds out of trouble if/when the next big one comes-a-blowin.
