Disciplining or terminating an employee brings about unwanted stress, but it can also open your business to a list of liability exposures. It is easy to believe that once an employee has received a corrective warning or has been terminated there will no longer be a problem. This is not always the case. There are many types of claims that an employee can file against you or your company if they feel they have been wrongly disciplined or terminated. But, there are ways to help prevent a claim if you are aware of the risks.
It is essential to clearly define your company expectations and individual roles for employees in a handbook which employees should sign. Conduct periodic performance reviews. The most important strategy to help prevent a lawsuit is to keep a paper trail for every employee and include corrective actions and performance reviews. Never embarrass a terminated employee by bringing in security to escort unless they were terminated for theft or a violent offense. Institute a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination, drug abuse and harassment. Also, establish an “open door” policy in which employees can report incidents without the fear of retaliation.
Add another line of defense with Employment Practices Liability Insurance. Even if you or your company are not found guilty of wrongful termination or discipline, lawsuits can be expensive, even devastating. EPL insurance can help offset some of these costs.

While we tend to take precautions against a variety of dangers, many underestimate the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. Unlike many hazards, carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and produces symptoms similar to having a cold or flu, meaning that it is often undetected until the more severe stages of illness. Luckily, carbon monoxide poisoning is preventable; be proactive by taking the proper precautions and learn to recognize the symptoms of poisoning.
What are the symptoms?
Carbon monoxide poisoning may cause headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, confusion, and forgetfulness. In many cases, these symptoms may be mistaken as another illness or even the common cold, leading them to be dismissed. Be aware and cautious if you experience these symptoms.
What precautions should I take?
Carbon monoxide alarms are required in California homes and offices; however, it is important to periodically check to make sure the alarms are in working order in case of emergency. Be sure that appliances are properly installed to avoid gas leaks. In addition, heating systems, including vents, should be serviced annually and checked for damage. If appliances begin to work inefficiently, for example, furnaces or water heaters failing to heat, then damages may have occurred that increase the risk of a leak.
What else should I know?
Carbon monoxide poisoning affects over 50,000 in the United States and kills around 500. Business owners and landlords might be liable for injury or death from CO poisoning if found to be negligent in taking proper precautions or fixing preexisting issues. Carbon monoxide poisoning is often overlooked, so it is important to protect your family, business, or tenants.

Spring is upon us, and while tidying up our homes, many of us forget that “tidying up” should include reviewing items that matter even more. Here is a handy checklist for making sure your insurance-related needs are covered.
1. Insurance Cards: Check your wallet to make sure that you are carrying a current insurance card. It can be easy to forget to change them; however these cards are vital in case of an accident.
2. Re-evaluate your Valuables: If you’ve gotten a few more valuables in the past year, now is a good time to make a record of them for insurance purposes. Take pictures or videos of these items so that if you need to make a claim, you have proof that you owned them.
3. Life Insurance: If you got married, divorced, or had another change in family status, your life insurance beneficiaries may have changed. Consider speaking with an insurance expert to ensure those who matter most are properly covered.
4. Business Inventory: If you own a business, determine if you’ve recently invested in new company vehicles, furniture, buildings, or inventory. If so, consider reviewing your business coverage to make sure new purchases are properly covered.
5. Employee Coverage: Whether you have recently been hiring or seen a few employees retire, now is a good time to consider whether your business liability insurance, employee compensation, and benefits are sufficiently adjusted.
Insurance is one of the most important, yet neglected, areas that need attention to ensure coverage in unforeseen circumstances. Wouldn’t that feel better than cleaning out your closet?

These cost increases often come as a direct result of a greater number of employees with chronic illness and preexisting or age-related conditions. Among the most common are knee or back injuries, stress, or cumulative trauma.

While winter is most often recognized as a time for holiday celebrations, it is also an excellent time for seasonal sports. Whether you enjoy skiing, snowboarding, hockey, ice fishing or snowmobiling, these sports and trips to mountain resorts are a common tradition in the SoCal area. As these activities continue to rise in popularity, participants should consider winter sports insurance to make sure the day is smooth… skiing.
What is Winter Sports Insurance and Why Do I Need It?
Winter sports insurance is a short-term add-on policy that gives you and your fellow visitors extra coverage to specifically address common issues that may arise when participating in winter athletics. Winter sports are often considered to be high-risk sports by insurers, which means injuries sustained while participating in them may not be covered under normal treatment coverage. Adding winter sports insurance compensates for this and can alleviate the cost of treatment should an accident occur. Many plans also offer additional benefits, such as covering the cost of lost or damaged equipment or lift passes, cancelled activities, and any liability you may have if you injure anyone else. You can add these insurance plans for just the amount of time you are participating, making them very affordable.
Whether traveling near or far to partake in the fun of a snow-filled day, consider speaking with one of our friendly agents about adding winter sports insurance. We’re here to make sure that no matter what happens on the slopes, you’ll be covered; that’s the Conrey Difference. To get in touch and see if winter sports insurance is right for you…
