Consultative FAQs
What can I expect from Leif as a partner?
When you work with Leif, you get more than an insurance agent. We’re a full-service agency with construction specialists in risk management, bond underwriting, safety and claims, and more. We use a consultative approach to get to know your business and provide tailored, ongoing guidance that helps you protect and grow your business.
What kind of support and resources does Leif offer to its clients?
We’re committed to providing our clients with timely, hands-on risk management support. We offer all the traditional services you’d expect from your agency, like exposure analysis, OSHA compliance support, and audit assistance. Then, we layer on our Real-Time Risk Management™ approach, using technology to identify inherent risks and provide actionable information to promote safety in real time. Finally, our service promise means lightning-fast responses, after-hours claims consultations, and same-day bonds and COIs. Our mission is to be a true partner to help you make the best decisions for your business.
What is hired and non-owned auto (HNOA) insurance and do I need it?
HNOA insurance covers vehicles that are used for business purposes but not owned by your business – for example, employees’ personal vehicles or vehicles that are leased, rented, or borrowed. It typically focuses on liability for damages caused by the insured vehicle. You might need HNOA if your employees use their own cars for work.
Do insurance agents focus on a specific industry?
Many agents are generalists, which allows them to serve any and all businesses. At Leif, we take a different approach. Construction is our sole focus – and we do it well. Our products and services are developed by construction experts, for construction businesses. This deep specialization allows us to offer next-level insights and customized discounts you just won’t get from a “jack of all trades” agency.
How will Leif support me when I have a claim?
Get in touch with us as soon as an incident happens – day or night. Our dedicated claims consultants will help you make the best decisions for your business and advocate for you until the claim is closed.
