Retail is rich in Rochester and main street business is good. Beyond the store fronts you see while driving down East Avenue in Pittsford or Long Pong Road in Greece there are many different types of businesses you can't peer inside of from your passing car. Wholesalers, manufacturers, contractors, and other types of businesses can't been seen through your car window while driving down Main Street, but rest assured that Rochester NY business insurance is hard at work protecting all of these unique businesses from the risks of fire, theft, and other perils. With InsuranceTrak.com you can learn what the insurance risks for a wide variety of industries and specific businesses. The perils of risk for Rochester NY businesses are unique to its geography and politics.
Geography- Being located in Rochester NY means that you are in the north eastern part of the country which means snow, snow, and more snow! If you don't like the snow, well we don't blame you. Snow on the streets leads to unpredictable driving conditions which cause accidents in your commercial vehicle. Snow slowly amasses on your business's roof until it gets so heavy the snow falls through and makes a water filled mess. Snow is cold so not only will it make you shiver if you don't wear a coat but can lead to frozen pipes that burst and rupture. As you can see, the winter conditions are always a concern for a small business in Rochester.
Politics- Because Rochester is located in the state of New York it's subject to the age old Scaffold Law. According to scaffoldlaw.org, "The Scaffold Law (NYS Labor Law sections 240/241) imposes "absolute liability" for elevation-related injuries on contractors and property owners engaged in construction, repair, or demolition work. Absolute liability means that the contributing fault of an injured worker, such as failure to use provided safety equipment or gross negligence, is virtually irrelevant in court.
New York is the only state in the nation with such a blatantly unjust law. All other states apportion liability in proportion to fault. For example, if a worker was 30% responsible for their own injury, the defendants are only liable for 70% of the judgment."
Not only is the cost of this law stifling to the taxpayers of New York state, it drives up insurance rates. Specifically the law affects insurance rates in the construction industry. Workers Compensation insurance carriers have become increasingly unprofitable which drives out competition and increases prices. At InsuranceTrak we're advocates for repealing the Scaffold Law. The website scaffoldlaw.org provides a strong case for repealing the law. Consider this citation from the website- "A recent study by the Rockefeller Institute of Government found that the Scaffold Law makes workplaces less safe and costs taxpayers over $700 million annually."
All in all, there are many challenges to consider when evaluating Rochester NY business insurance. Considering the help of a trusted advisor at InsuranceTrak is an easy, safe, and mind-easing decision when you want peace of mind that your Rochester NY business is insured properly.
