Need Help in Finding an Insurance Broker

[linda blair]

There has been a major reshuffling at my company where I work and I ended up being promoted and one of my duties is to find a new insurance broker. Our current broker is selling his business to another broker and my boss wants to see what is out there. The problem is that I have no idea on how to find an insurance broker or what to look for. Any suggestions are helpful.

Just a little bit about ourselves. We are an HVAC company in NYC. The type of insurance we need is general liability and auto.

Tell us what state you are in.

Tell us what state you are in.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say New York.

Linda Blair? Weren't you.... Oh. Never mind.

That's really taking a risk, Vol. Mark being a true southerner doesn't know the acronym for the "Big Apple." BTW Chumps I think you're on to something----The Exorcist, maybe?

We have New York brokers on here that will probably come to Linda's rescue.

In all fairness to Mark, couldn't, "We are an HVAC company in NYC" be read as, "We are a High Volume Assurance Company in Need of Your Contracts"?

Hi everybody. Looks like there has been some confusion. Let me clear this up.

I work for a Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning in New York City in the state of New York.

We are looking for another insurance broker because that broker is selling his business to another guy. It is not likely that will happen as long as long as the relationship between stays the same. But there has been rumbling going on with our current insurance broker. There appears to be some sort of power struggle going on. Something accounts being stolen.

So here are my questions.

1. What should I be looking for in an insurance broker?

2. How do I know what is a reasonable price?

3. What are my rights?

4. What are their rights?

If you can point me to the right sites or books about insurance, that would be cool to.

We are looking for general liability and auto coverage.

Thank you.

P.S Linda Blair is not my real name, but I just some bits of that movie online.

Sorry, but I am not licensed in New York state. There are a few agents on here that do write in New York. I am sure they will be along in a few days to offer help to you.
