Coverage We Offer
To cover the unique risks that farms face, Dotterer Insurance offers coverages such as:

Liability
Farm liability insurance is the main type of liability insurance that farms can carry. This insurance is also known as general liability insurance and covers bodily injury or property damage that may occur on the farm. This is especially important if your farm offers tours, hayrides or horseback riding. General liability insurance provides compensation for medical expenses and helps the farm with legal fees and costs if sued by the victim.

Keep in mind that general liability insurance does not cover claims filed by employees of the farm. If an accident occurs involving an employee, you will need workers compensation in order to pay for the damages. Workers compensation insurance covers medical expenses, lost wages and even funeral expenses if an employee is injured on the job. This insurance is not legally required in South Carolina, but it crucial at preventing expensive lawsuits regarding employees.

Farm Equipment
This insurance can cover tractors, combines, farm tools and supplies, irrigation equipment, wagons, hay rakes, planters, sprayers and more. It covers against natural disasters and other incidents involving fire, theft, vandalism and explosions.
