The provision of your homeowners policy that covers business pursuits is applicable only when your main office is away from your home and you take work home.

It may in some instances provide coverage for “sleep and fall” accidents and business personal property, but frankly, you must have a stand alone business insurance. Insurance coverage for your business will depend on your operations and other specifics. If… Read More »What Insurance Do I Need For A Home Business?

An insurance company does not have to cover a Rapid City woman for a crash because her policy expired 12 hours before she hit four boys on their bicycles, the South Dakota Supreme Court ruled.
Tamara Bradford pleaded guilty to two counts of vehicular battery for the September 2007 crash and was sentenced to eight years in prison. Authorities said her blood-alcohol level was three times the legal limit for driving when she hit and injured the boys, who were riding their bicycles or standing along the road.
After a lawsuit was filed on behalf of the boys, Alpha Property and Casualty Insurance Co. declined to cover Bradford for the crash. The Supreme Court said Bradford’s insurance policy had expired just after midnight on Sept. 23, 2007, about 12 hours before the crash, because she had failed to pay a premium due the day before the accident.
