(NYSE: THG) today announced the availability of an enhanced suite of general liability and umbrella coverage offerings to further help its independent insurance agents to offer more comprehensive protection for their business clients.
These product enhancements include industry-specific and specialized coverage endorsements that can further extend coverage. The policies and forms were also simplified to help independent agents do business easier and faster when working to meet their customers' needs.
"We are committed to investing in our product portfolio to ensure that we're providing innovative and differentiated solutions for our agents and their customers," said John "Jack" C. Roche, president of business insurance at The Hanover. "In particular, these improved general liability and umbrella coverages enable our agents to address more of their customers' needs."
The suite of general liability broadening coverages is designed to help more fully protect commercial package policy and monoline general liability clients against costly damage, injury and lawsuits that may be brought against them. It consists of more than 20 coverages and enhancements, including coverage for newly acquired or formed organizations until the end of the policy period and additional insured—primary and non-contributory, as well as industry-specific coverages that help address more unique exposures.
