ExploreThe Brief
A step-by-step way to size your death benefit using the DIME method — debts, income replacement, mortgage, and education — with worked examples for three household types.
Who must carry it, how premium is calculated from payroll and class code, what the experience modifier does, and the exclusions that surprise employers.
Per-occurrence vs. aggregate limits, products-completed operations, additional insureds, and the professional and auto gaps that general liability never fills.
First-party breach response, third-party liability, ransomware, and social engineering fraud — how a cyber policy is structured and what underwriters now require before quoting.
