Understanding the Risks Faced by Local Businesses in PA
What are the most common risks Pennsylvania businesses encounter?
Slip-and-fall accidents, property damage from severe weather, employee injuries, lawsuits, and disasters can all lead to significant financial losses, legal issues, and even business closure. In fact, a recent study found that 60% of Pennsylvania businesses experienced weather-related interruptions in the past year, with an average cost of $25,000 per incident.
Real-world example: A popular Pittsburgh restaurant faced financial ruin after a customer slipped on a wet floor and sued for damages.
Without adequate liability coverage, the restaurant struggled to pay legal fees and settlement costs, ultimately forcing them to close their doors.
The Impact of Risks on Pennsylvania Businesses
How do these risks affect businesses in the Keystone State?
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (DL&I), slip-and-fall accidents account for 35% of all workers’ compensation claims in the state.
Additionally, the National Weather Service reports that Pennsylvania experiences an average of 20 severe weather events per year, causing significant property damage and business interruptions.
What if your business is unprepared for these risks? The consequences can be devastating.

Navigating the Business Insurance Landscape in Pennsylvania and Specific Coverages
What types of business insurance are required and recommended in Pennsylvania? Workers’ compensation insurance is mandated by state law and enforced by the DL&I.
This coverage provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Other essential coverages include:
- General liability insurance
- Professional liability insurance (E&O)
- Commercial auto insurance
- Commercial property insurance
- Business interruption insurance
- Industry-specific coverage (e.g., product liability, cyber liability)
What factors influence business insurance costs and coverage in Pennsylvania?
Your business size, industry, claims history, and risk management practices all play a role in determining your premiums and coverage limits.
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code or North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is used to assess your industry’s specific risks.
Here is a handy table to give breakdown the cost factors of commercial insurance in Pennsylvania.
| Factor | Impact on Insurance Costs |
|---|---|
| Business size | Larger businesses typically pay higher premiums |
| Industry | High-risk industries (e.g., construction) face higher costs |
| Claims history | Frequent claims lead to increased premiums |
| Risk management | Implementing safety measures can lower costs |
Tailoring Insurance Solutions to Your Unique Business Needs
How can you assess your business’s insurance requirements? Start by identifying your assets, liabilities, and potential risks. Evaluate industry-specific considerations based on your SIC or NAICS code. Determine appropriate coverage levels to protect your business from financial harm.
Real-world example: The Allen Thomas Group helped a local manufacturing company identify its unique risks and secure tailored coverage, including product liability insurance.
When a defective product led to a customer injury and lawsuit, the manufacturer was protected by their comprehensive insurance policy.
