The Unique Insurance Needs of Warehouses

Storing and moving your products safely from point to point is the most critical part of your business. Commercial One Insurance Service serves the unique needs of our local Burlingame, CA warehouse operations. We’re here to shine a light on the importance of liability insurance for this critical and often time-sensitive industry.

You’re legally culpable for damages. Warehouse businesses are considered bailees under California law. This means that you are held responsible for damages to products and cargo under your care. Without appropriate insurance, your business will pay out of pocket for damages and losses.

Insurance gives your clients peace of mind. When people choose your business for their warehousing needs, they are trusting you with their property. Having a solid legal liability policy tells your clients that you take this responsibility seriously. The robustness of your insurance policy could be what seals the deal with prospective clients.

Insurance protects your business when things go wrong. Even the most conscientious operation can run into problems. Warehouse liability insurance protects you from financial losses due to accidental damage of property, physical loss, or damages that can occur during storage, packaging, or anything else you do in the operation of your business. If you handle the logistics of moving products as well, consider logistics insurance to go alongside your warehouse policy. 

Your needs are unique. Find an agency that’s willing to work with you to find the right fit. Commercial One Insurance Service is here to help with your warehouse and logistics insurance needs.
