When a contract requires one party to be added to another’s liability policy, it’s easy to assume it offers broad protection. In reality, additional insured status is much more specific, and understanding what this endorsement actually covers can help prevent surprises later.

Our team at Shield Insurance breaks down what an additional insured endorsement is and how it typically works so you know what to expect.

If you ever need help interpreting a contract requirement or figuring out how additional insured status applies to your policy, reach out to our office in Decatur anytime.

June is National Fireworks Safety Month, and our team at Shield Insurance wants to help you enjoy the season while keeping safety top of mind.

Fireworks may feel like a classic summer tradition, but even small ones can lead to injuries and property damage. Safer alternatives like laser light shows, drone displays, glow sticks, and neighborhood celebrations can bring the fun without the added risk.

This is also a great time to review your home insurance and liability coverage so you know exactly what protection you have in place.

If you have questions about your policy or want help comparing options, our team is here to guide you. Stay safe and enjoy the summer!
