Don't Let the Sun Set on Your Coverage: A Super Bowl Strategy to Avoid Getting Sacked
Don't Let the Sun Set on Your Coverage: A Super Bowl Strategy to Avoid Getting Sacked
February 7th, 2024
Just as in the Super Bowl, where every second counts, the same applies to your insurance coverage. Whether you're a Motor Carrier or Insurance Agent, staying ahead of the game means understanding the ins and outs of your insurance policy, particularly when it comes to the Sunset clause in most Contingent Liability policies.
Understanding the Play: The Sunset Clause
Just as a quarterback needs to know their plays, Insurance Agents need to understand the intricacies of the policies they offer. In Contingent Liability policies, the Sunset clause is a key player. These policies protect Motor Carriers from Workers Compensation claims made by Independent Contractors, helping to cover legal defense and indemnity payments for upheld allegations.
However, just as a football game has a time limit, so do Contingent Liability policies. The Sunset clause within these policies acts like the game clock, setting the maximum timeframe for reporting claims. This period typically spans one to three years, after which the whistle blows, and no coverage is available if the claim is left unreported.
Staying Ahead of the Game: The Importance of Awareness
Missing the Sunset deadline can be as devastating for Motor Carriers and Insurance Agents as missing a game-winning field goal in the Super Bowl. It could result in a hefty financial loss to the Motor Carrier and lead to potential Errors and Omissions claims against the Insurance Agent.
Our Contingent Liability Policy: The Star Quarterback with No Time Limit
