Industry Specific Insurance

Mountcastle Insurance works with a wide range of industries, but also has a particular depth of knowledge and/or product offerings in certain specific industries. Please see some of these listed below.


Risk Management and Insurance Programs for Municipalities

Municipalities: a broad term encompassing a wide variety of services, activities, and responsibilities undertaken by towns, counties, and cities. The risk management and insurance needs of such a wide-ranging group of public entities is just as varied and ever-changing as the individual municipalities.

When responsibilities extend to disparate public services like road maintenance, public transportation, special events management, school districts, emergency response, and more, we can help. Mountcastle Insurance can provide a complete risk-management program including contract reviews, loss analysis, and training. By combining traditional insurance with consideration of alternative risk-transfer methods (like risk retention and joint insurance funds), Mountcastle Insurance can keep your insurance protection up-to-date with your budget and risk exposures.

The Municipality Risk Management and Insurance team at Mountcastle Insurance can help you sort through the unique risks you face. And we have the options to help you craft an effective, economic risk-management and insurance program.

Insurance for Manufacturers

Most manufacturing operations can be insured with standard package policies covering both legal liability and property. But the size and scope of your business and some operational decisions can greatly affect the type of insurance policies that are most affordable and effective for your manufacturing business.

Some key exclusions in packaged business insurance that should always be considered include liability coverage for environmental damage, loss due to employee dishonesty, and damage to property owned by others but left in your care. It is important to make sure any insurance program for your manufacturing business includes adequate protection for loss of income and continuing expenses if your business is shut down by a covered loss.
