Cannabis, Hemp & CBD Dispensary Insurance

Purchasing insurance is a standard practice for most commercial ventures. If you were a traditional retailer, general liability policy that covers the basics might be sufficient. However, as a marijuana dispensary, your company has specific requirements.

CannaCorps will customize your plan so that your business, the building, contents, drivers, inventory, and employees are covered. With exceptional customer service, our insurance agents will help you protect your growing dispensary business.

Bodily Injury

Even when the best practices are maintained, accidents and injuries can still happen. CannaCorps provides access to general liability insurance that can cover claims by third parties for bodily injuries. If you work in an office, store or even at a customer’s location, general liability coverage can protect you from lawsuits and claims.

Medical Expenses

If an accident happens and someone other than you or an employee is injured, your general liability policy can cover the associated medical expenses for each injured person. Protect yourself and your cannabis business with a general liability insurance policy.

Property Damage

Damage to someone else’s property, whether caused by you or one of your employees, can potentially create huge expenses that you as a business owner would be responsible for. Therefore it is wise to protect yourself and your business with a general liability insurance policy.

Legal Fees

Legal fees are expensive if you do not have a plan in place for your defense. Your general liability insurance policy can cover legal costs on your behalf reducing your limit of liability.

We recognize that Product Liability insurance in the cannabis industry is new and evolving. However, there has been an increase in the number of cases brought up that deal with accusations of defective cannabis product, as well as new guidelines and regulations that have caused product recalls. Product liability Insurance provides coverage in the event you are found liable due to a defective product, whether you manufacture or just sell the product to a consumer.

A crop insurance policy covers cultivators if there is a loss to the crop, under certain conditions, such as fire, lightning, wind, hail, theft, and sprinkler leakage, among others. Loss caused by changes in climate or mold, disease and fertilization issues, however, is generally not covered by crop insurance policies.

Additional coverages may include:

Motor Truck cargo

An inland marine form covering loss of property in the course of transit, either by common carrier or on the insured's own vehicles, depending on the form used.

Management Liability

Insurance that covers exposures faced by directors, officers, managers, and business entities that arise from governance, finance, benefits, and management activities (also called "executive liability insurance"). This includes:

1. directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance
2. employment practices liability (EPL) insurance
3. fiduciary liability insurance
4. "special crime" insurance (covering kidnap, ransom, and extortion exposures)

These coverages may be written as stand-alone insurance policies or combined into a single, "package" policy.

Commercial Auto

Auto — as the term is currently defined in Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO), commercial auto and commercial general liability (CGL) insurance policies, any land motor vehicle, trailer, or semi trailer designed for travel on public roads; or any other land vehicle that is subject to a compulsory or financial responsibility law or other motor vehicle insurance law where it is licensed or principally garaged.

Excess Liability

A policy issued to provide limits in excess of an underlying liability policy. The underlying liability policy can be, and often is, an umbrella liability policy. An excess liability policy is no broader than the underlying liability policy; its sole purpose is to provide additional limits of insurance.

Cyber and Privacy Insurance

A type of insurance designed to cover consumers of technology services or products. More specifically, the policies are intended to cover a variety of both liability and property losses that may result when a business engages in various electronic activities, such as selling on the Internet or collecting data within its internal electronic network.

Errors and Omissions

Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance — an insurance form that protects the insured against liability for committing an error or omission in performance of professional duties. Generally, such policies are designed to cover financial losses rather than liability for bodily injury (BI) and property damage (PD).

Directors and Officers

A type of liability insurance covering directors and officers for claims made against them while serving on a board of directors and/or as an officer. D&O liability insurance can be written to cover the directors and officers of for-profit businesses, privately held firms, not-for-profit organizations, and educational institutions. In effect, the policies function as "management errors and omissions liability insurance," covering claims resulting from managerial decisions that have adverse financial consequences.

Employee Practices Liability

Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) — a type of liability insurance covering wrongful acts arising from the employment process. The most frequent types of claims covered under such policies include: wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation. In addition, the policies cover claims from a variety of other types of inappropriate workplace conduct, including (but not limited to) employment-related: defamation, invasion of privacy, failure to promote, deprivation of a career opportunity, and negligent evaluation.
