SPECIALTY INSURANCE

Coverage for Complex Risks

Some organizations and operations do not fit neatly into a standard insurance package. Legacy helps Colorado businesses, schools, nonprofits, and other organizations explore coverage for specialized, overlapping, and difficult-to-place risks.

SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

Understanding What Makes You Different

Specialty insurance begins with understanding how an organization actually operates. Unique services, contracts, populations, security practices, facilities, and regulatory responsibilities can all create exposures that standard coverage may not fully address.

Organizations We May Be Able to Help

Schools and Educational Institutions - Public, private, charter, and specialized educational organizations with complex property, liability, professional, transportation, student, and security exposures.

Security Firms and Armed Guards - Organizations providing armed or unarmed security, patrol, event security, protective services, or related operations.

Churches and Religious Organizations - Coverage considerations involving worship facilities, employees, volunteers, transportation, outreach programs, and community activities.

Nonprofit Organizations - Protection designed around mission-driven operations, boards, employees, volunteers, fundraising, events, and services.

Special Events and Programs - Short-term or recurring activities that may create additional liability, property, participant, or contractual requirements.

Complex or Difficult-to-Place Risks - Businesses and organizations with unusual operations, challenging loss histories, specialized contracts, or coverage needs outside standard carrier guidelines.

WHEN RISKS OVERLAP

More Than a Standard Policy

An educational institution with armed security, for example, may have overlapping responsibilities involving students, employees, facilities, transportation, professional services, security operations, and emergency response. Addressing only one part of that exposure can leave significant gaps.

Depending on the organization, coverage considerations may include:

  • General Liability - Certain third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from operations.

  • Professional Liability - Claims involving professional services, decisions, errors, or alleged failure to perform a duty.

  • Security and Law Enforcement Liability - Certain claims arising from armed or unarmed security operations, detention, use of force, or related activities.

  • Abuse and Molestation Coverage - Certain allegations involving abuse or misconduct, subject to policy terms and organizational safeguards.

  • Cyber Liability - Data breaches, privacy incidents, cyberattacks, and technology-related disruptions.

  • Property and Business Interruption - Buildings, equipment, contents, and income affected by a covered loss.

THE DETAILS MATTER

Specialty Coverage Starts With the Right Questions

Specialty risks often require more detailed underwriting and fewer assumptions. The information provided about your operations can affect which carriers are willing to consider the risk and what coverage may be available.

Important considerations may include:

Operations and Services - What your organization does, who it serves, and where services are provided.

Contracts and Requirements - Insurance limits, endorsements, and obligations required by clients, regulators, landlords, or other parties.

Employee and Volunteer Responsibilities - Training, supervision, screening, transportation, and interaction with clients or vulnerable populations.

Security Practices - Written procedures, armed or unarmed personnel, emergency response, use-of-force policies, and incident reporting.

Risk Management - Safety programs, background checks, training records, maintenance practices, and other loss-control measures.

Loss History - Prior claims, corrective actions, and changes made to reduce future incidents.
