No challenge is too great to be insured

In a world where business activities often go beyond traditional frameworks, it’s essential to protect your unconventional projects with insurance that adapts to their reality. So-called “special” risks don’t always fit into standard insurance products. Yet, their protection is crucial.

Thanks to their expertise and extensive network of insurers, the experts at J. Gérard Fortin & Associates can offer you customized solutions, even for the most complex requests. Have an unusual need?

Choosing the Right Surety or Protection

Finding the right coverage for special risks begins with clearly defining the nature of your activities. Indeed, a drone manufacturer, an online retailer, or a fleet owner face different challenges. That’s why our experts assist you in a comprehensive analysis of your needs to guide you toward the appropriate guarantees.

We assess your company’s exposure level, potential types of losses, and the specific requirements of your business partners (e.g., clients, governments, project owners).

Protections That Can Be Considered Based on the Type of Risk :

Surety Bond

Primarily used to meet contractual or regulatory obligations, this type of guarantee is often required in construction, transportation sectors, or for companies bidding on tenders.

Non-Standard Property Insurance

To cover unique equipment or products that aren’t insurable through standard policies. This may include specialized machinery, temporary installations, or developing materials.

Specialized Liability Insurance

Certain sectors, like technology or manufacturing of complex parts, may require tailored coverage to address claims related to errors, defects, or indirect damages.

Insurance for Special-Use Fleets

When vehicles are used intensively, for specialized routes, or under unconventional conditions, standard insurance often doesn’t suffice to cover actual risks.

Insurance for One-Time Events or Projects

Whether you’re organizing a temporary project, an experiment, or an exceptional event, it’s possible to create specific coverage for the exact duration and nature of the activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need to provide to obtain a quote for special risks?

It depends on the nature of your activity, but generally, insurers request a detailed description of your operations, recent financial statements, and contracts or agreements related to the activity to be insured. The experts at J. Gérard Fortin & Associates will assist you in compiling a complete file.

Do special risk insurances cover international activities?

Yes, certain protections can extend internationally depending on the insurer and the nature of the activity. It’s important to specify this from the outset to find adequate coverage.

Can special risk insurance be combined with more traditional business insurance?

Absolutely. In many cases, special coverage is added to your general insurance program to fill gaps or meet specific requirements. Our experts ensure that the protections are compatible and complementary.
