Cannabis Insurance
In recent years, the legal cannabis industry has rapidly expanded throughout the United States.

With the help of the committed, knowledgeable experts at Oak Tree Insurance Services, you’ll be able to build the quality benefits portfolio that offers you security, affordability and customized protection to ensure your business never faces a stressful, unaffordable recovery just because a problem occurred.
Understanding Cannabis Insurance
With the rapid expansion of legal cannabis rights in America, a supply chain has sprung up to deliver multiple products to market. Businesses of all sorts, ranging from growers to retailers, have found this not only a lucrative industry to enter, but also one that has a high chance of future growth.
However, cannabis and CBD products bring with them a lot of liabilities, and you have to follow a lot of regulations in order to operate legally. Still, you can’t guarantee that you won’t face a problem that could cause a halt in operations, lost income, or worse, harm others. However, if you have a customized insurance portfolio, you’ll have a security blanket to keep your business safe against any problem that might occur at any time.
What Coverage do Cannabis Businesses Need?
You want to create the insurance portfolio that is custom-tailored to your business. Our agents are glad to help you combine numerous benefits in ways that will perfect your risk management strategy.
Essential coverage that will always come in handy includes:
· General Liability Insurance: This covers the business in the event it is at-fault for property damage or bodily injuries done to another party, such as a client or vendor.
· Product Liability Insurance: Because cannabis products can be dangerous when consumed, you must make sure your product does not pose an undue risk to the user. However, if something does go wrong, and your product harms the user, then you could face a lawsuit. This coverage ensures you can compensate the client and settle your legal costs.
· Property Insurance: If something damages physical property, such as your building, inventory or possessions, then this coverage can help you repair or replace them.
· Business Interruption Insurance: This helps you pay the bills if you must temporarily close after a damaging accident.
· Workers Compensation Insurance: If an employee gets hurt on the job, they are often eligible for workers compensation. It will provide them supplementary income during their recovery.
· Errors & Omissions Insurance: Professional advice or mistakes could cause clients a financial loss. This coverage can compensate them on behalf of the business.
· Crop Insurance: If you cultivate cannabis, then this coverage can help you replace damaged crops in case of an unexpected loss.
· Crime Coverage: Should an employee or other party steal from your business, then this coverage can pay for your losses.
Other policies that you will likely need to carry include:
· Commercial Auto Insurance
· Hired/Non-owned Auto Liability Coverage
· Motor Truck Cargo/Inland Marine Insurance
· Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)
· Directors & Officers (D&O) Insurance
