What is the Insurance Answers library?

Insurance Answers is a free library of 163 plain-English answers to commercial insurance questions for businesses in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. Every answer is written by Winfield Lee, a licensed independent insurance agent in Statesboro, Georgia, and covers what a coverage actually does, what it costs, and where the common gaps are.

How are the answers organized?

Answers are grouped by the kind of business or the kind of coverage: construction and contracting, infrastructure and utility work, trucking and transportation, workers compensation, food and hospitality, healthcare, property and coastal catastrophe, manufacturing and industrial trades, bonds and surety, professional and cyber liability, and general coverage basics.

Do these answers cost anything?

No. Every answer is free to read with no signup. If you want a quote or a second opinion on a program you already have, a free risk review is available through Bettr Coverage.

Which states do these answers apply to?

The answers focus on the Southeast: Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Coverage mechanics are largely national, but rate figures, filing rules and statutory workers compensation thresholds are state specific and are called out where they differ.
