Renewing your car insurance doesn’t have to be a hassle. At Acrisure, we aim to make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Whether you’re renewing your policy or shopping for a new one, we’re here to assist you every step of the way.

Easy Steps to Renew Your Car Insurance:

1. Review Your Current Policy:  Take a close look at your existing coverage. Assess if it still meets your needs or if there are any changes necessary due to new circumstances.
2. Compare Rates:  Shop around to compare premiums and coverage options. This ensures you get the best deal without compromising on the protection you need.
3. Update Your Information:  Ensure all your personal and vehicle details are up-to-date. Accurate information helps in getting an accurate quote and avoids any future discrepancies.
4. Consider Discounts:  Check if you qualify for any discounts such as safe driver, multi-policy, or loyalty discounts. These can significantly reduce your premium costs.
5. Set Up Automatic Renewal:  Simplify the renewal process by setting up automatic renewal. This ensures continuous coverage without the hassle of manual renewals.

At Acrisure, we’re committed to providing you with exceptional service and the best insurance solutions tailored to your needs.

This February we celebrate Black History Month! It’s a chance for us to reflect upon the diversity of Black communities in North America, and to honor the contributions of Black Americans and Canadians. 

As part of this commitment, and in honor of February being Black History month Acrisure US will be hosting a Wednesday speaker series with the theme “Inclusive Journeys: Building Bridges of Belonging.” Fostering connections and collaboration across our organization is central to who we are. This series aims to enhance our commitment to inclusion and provide a platform to inform and grow in knowledge about your fellow colleagues.  

Canada’s official theme this year is “Black Legacy & Leadership: Celebrating Canadian History & Uplifting Future Generations.” One of our Canadian universities, Queens, has some fantastic free resources available: Black History Resources for people of all ages and backgrounds, including podcasts, reading lists, museums and more. 

As we celebrate Black History Month, let’s take this opportunity to learn, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations. By embracing diverse perspectives and honoring the contributions of Black communities, we strengthen our commitment to inclusion and belonging. Together, we can continue building a culture of respect, appreciation, and unity this month and beyond. 

 

Environmental Insurance and Why You May Need It

Environmental insurance like pollution liability insurance helps mitigate the financial risks associated with environmental incidents and regulatory violations. Learn more in this article.

Pollution exclusions found in most commercial insurance policies can leave policyholders including companies, property owners, and independent contractors uninsured against significant loss exposures. To mitigate the severity of liability claims, Acrisure offers various types of environmental insurance for first party (property) and third-party (liability) risk management and coverage.

From contractors working on a site where contamination triggers a claim to chemical processors whose products are spilled in transit by a third party, we can help you find the right liability policies and stock throughput offerings and much more to help reduce your risks and help protect your company’s operations and financial security.

Common Sources of Environmental Liability Exposure

Environmental liability losses can be incurred through torts, contractual obligations, or violations of statutes. Actual or alleged release of pollutants, violation of laws designed to protect human health and the environment from those pollutants, or enforcement of environmental protection laws requiring remediation expense payment are all common sources of liability.

Comprehensive environmental insurance should address four key areas of risk to help protect against exposure and losses related to:

  • Bodily injury.
  • Property damage.
  • Cleanup expenses.
  • Defense costs.

Environmental Insurance Case Studies

Once you realize you need coverage, it could be too late. Consider the following examples:

  • A contractor working at a manufacturing facility left a valve open on a process line overnight. The next day it was discovered that the contents of a storage tank connected to the line had been released into an adjacent stream, causing property damage, bodily injury, and natural resource damage.
  • An auto accident occurred in the downtown section of a city and involved a hazardous waste hauler headed for a disposal facility. The hazardous liquid being transported was released into the street. Passersby inhaled the fumes, and the business district of the city was evacuated for two days as cleanup contractors responded to the spill. Claims were filed against the transporter alleging bodily injury, property damage, and business interruption.
  • Despite conducting inspections before buying an industrial site, a business owner faced claims of underlying and undiscovered contamination unrelated to the business currently housed at the site.

Environmental insurance can help cover you while projects are in process as well as after the fact as demonstrated in the examples above.

Depending on your specific operation and risks, solutions can be personalized to help provide protection and peace of mind. Some of our offerings include:

  • Contractors Pollution Liability for general and artisan contractors, both environmental and non-environmental of any size.
  • Stock Throughput and Pollution Liability Exposure for distributors, logistics companies, importers/exporters, manufacturers, chemical, oil, and gas industries, major retail companies, high tech, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries, and agricultural industries.
  • Pollution Legal Liability for real estate owners, operators, property managers, and tenants within the industrial, commercial, and institutional industries.
  • Contractors Pollution and Professional Liability for contractors and design-build firms.

Solutions can be personalized to help provide protection and peace of mind.

This year, our Direct Link team came together for our annual Summer Social, at the Roger’s Centre home of the Toronto Blue Jays for an event that highlighted our team spirit.

Our event was set up in the Jays Nest space, with plenty of room to socialize—plus stadium seating to enjoy the game. The weather was perfection—breezy and not too hot. Many of our colleagues are fans who came dressed in their favorite Blue Jays gear. Some of us were meeting face-to-face for the first time, yet it really felt more like seeing old friends because of all our time together. There were lots of hugs and so much laughter. 

Even though the Toronto Blue Jays didn’t win, the real victory was in the connections we made and the fun we had. Our Summer Social is more than just a party; it’s a chance to celebrate the hard work and dedication each of us brings.

We can’t wait for another opportunity to connect, celebrate, and cheer together. Here’s to many more seasons of laughter, shared experiences, and the camaraderie that makes our team so special.
