Brandon, Florida Nonprofit Insurance

You may discover it to be more challenging than you first thought when learning how to insure your non-profit business. For many years, states had charitable immunity laws that provided complete protection to charitable organizations as a blanket from all liability. The charity’s purpose was to exist for the good of the community, and it’s assets were not intended for the recoupment of loss by any who may suffer injury as a result of an accident or otherwise unfortunate occurrence resulting from the non-profit entity, it’s agents or members.

As the years have passed, these non-profit and charitable organizations are being held legally and financially liable for their intentional wrongdoing or negligence. The responsibility extends even to include the actions and decisions of the officers, directors, employees, agents and even volunteers acting under the non-profit’s authority. This is referred to as tort liability.

A tort is a legal term describing a violation where one person causes damage, injury, or harm to another person. The violation may result from intentional actions, a breach of duty as in negligence, or due to a violation of statutes. The party that commits the tort is called the tortfeasor.

Informed nonprofits establish safety standards and insulate their organizations by maintaining liability insurance, and it is a result of tort liability risk, as well as exposure to great financial loss that the nonprofits are forced to protect themselves.

Our agents at Odiorne Insurance Agency can help you find the coverage you desire for your non profit insurance needs at a competitive rate.

Protecting your nonprofit with adequate insurance is important to realize, as the expense of even a single lawsuit could easily be devastating to the budget of most nonprofits.
