Drowsy Driving Prevention and Keeping Your Family Safe

,
tired woman asleep at drivers wheel a drowsy driver

Here are some scary statistics:

According to the Center for Disease Control, one-third of all American adults are not getting adequate sleep. That’s right, one out of every three people you see, and potentially drivers on the road are sleep deprived.

drowsy driver caused accident and smashed windshieldEven scarier is the estimated 328,000 automobile crashes that occur annually due to sleepy drivers. These drowsy bashes result in over 100,000 injury accidents and roughly 6400 fatalities every year. Break it down and that means that almost 20 people a day lose their lives due to a fatigued driver behind the wheel.

And, of importance to parents out there, young adults and students are particularly at risk. This is due to the combination of inexperience in driving combined with the sleep deprivation that is common with late night study, extracurricular activities and early school start times.

The point is very clear: don’t drive when overly tired, drowsy or have had inadequate sleep. Even a short nap can make a huge difference and potentially save your life–as well as the lives of others.

How to tell if you are too tired to Drive

Trying to convince yourself that “it’s OK, I can keep myself awake, I can handle it” is already a bad sign. If you are not sure if you are too tired to drive, then these are some signs that you are too fatigued to drive:

  • Frequent yawning or difficulty keeping your eyes open
  • “Nodding off” or having trouble keeping your head up
  • Inability to remember driving the last few miles
  • Missing road signs or turns
  • Difficulty maintaining your speed
  • Drifting out of your lane

(The above taken from “Confronting Drowsy Driving” by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine)

Our job at Lucas Insurance is not only to provide you with the financial protection that you need in the case of loss, accidents and disasters but to do our best to hopefully to provide you with the helpful knowledge to prevent, or lessen, these damages altogether.

The best advice is that if you already know that you are tired or sleep deprived, then DON’T DRIVE. Take an Uber, get someone else to drive, find some way to get rest and if it helps, then remind yourself of the dangers that drowsy driving present.

Remember, drowsy driving is a significant factor in the fatal crashes that take place every single day

car crash accident rear endedAnd this advice is not just for you, the driver, but as a passenger, a parent, a friend, a colleague… in whatever role, care enough to tell someone not to drive when they are too tired. We know personally of a husband and father that was driving his family back from a long day in San Diego, tired from activities, heat and not enough sleep. He fell asleep and flew off the highway. His wife and friends escaped with injuries but he lost his life. Just not worth it. 

So, too tired? Pull over, get a nap, get some rest and continue to live another day. We take your well-being seriously and don’t want to see you become one of these statistics.

Getting Nightclub, Bar or Pub Insurance in the Antelope Valley

bar, nightclub, cocktails, bartender, antelope valley

bar, restaurant, beer tap, bartender, antelope valley

It may seem like a quiet bedroom community but there are actually dozens of establishments in the Antelope Valley that are have bars or places to get a drink. If you are one of the hard working individuals that own or are running a bar or restaurant in Palmdale, Lancaster or the general area, then you want to make sure that both your business and your personal assets are well protected with nightclub and bar insurance.

Owning a nightclub or bar in the Antelope Valley, or anywhere in California, can be a risky business. Whether it is the sad occurrence of a patron involved in an accident, even after leaving your bar, or food poisoning, it is vital to have specific insurance, such as liquor liability insurance or restaurant coverage in general.

Especially as your business grows, aside from the higher number of clients there is the fact that prosperous businesses are more likely to be targeting by lawyers, it is vital that you have the right kind of insurance.

Bar insurance takes into consideration the high amount of traffic that goes into your business, especially in the evenings. It will keep your property protected from damages brought by unforeseen fights, incidents, staff negligence, burglar attempts, and other unwanted events. Although this type of insurance can seem relatively expensive, its cost reflects the risks involved–risks that can mean complete and total loss in the case of an uninsured incident.

Why You Need Coverage: The Risk of Owning a Nightclub and Bar

The bar and nightclub business can be risky but you can still build a good business, in spite of the risks, if you plan properly for these “risk events.”

As you well know, it takes a lot of money and effort to get a bar or restaurant off the ground… and to keep it rolling along. An unplanned event or accident, even just prolonged power failures or a natural event, can wipe out your working capital and reserves leaving you without anything to operate on–a common disaster for many ill-prepared food and drink establishment owners.

Accidents and natural catastrophes, such as the desert flooding in the Antelope Valley areas, can and do occur. There are many different accidents that could occur in a nightclub or bar. The risks involved in this line of business include: food poisoning from poor sanitation or mishandling food, assault, vandalism, robbery, fires, and lawsuits resulting from all of the previous incidents. And bars have the added risk of intoxicated customers, whom are at greater risk for mishaps, falls, accidents and so forth. When alcohol is consumed, one’s mental and physical capacity is reduced and the chances of these incidents will increase.

The point is that accidents and unpredicted events can and will occur. And when they do, they can really hurt your business, draining cash and evaporating assets just to cover the damage and liabilities, let alone continue to operate. Nightclub and bar insurance packages can guarantee that you don’t have to pay for any depreciation or liabilities caused by your business.

With this in mind, it’s important to have a reliable insurance plan for your business that will protect you from all these undesirable situations. Reliable insurance will conserve your profits. Paying for an insurance plan can save you if you reach a time of crisis and loss. It will defend you from unforeseen and uncontrollable events.

Liquor Liability Insurance for your Antelope Valley Establishment

If you serve any type of alcoholic beverage at your restaurant, bar, or nightclub, you will need to have Liquor Liability Insurance. The cost of this coverage is based on your annual sales of alcoholic beverages, so it can change over time as your business grows–this is important as you want to be secure in having coverage that provides adequate protection.

While starting a bar or restaurant is a popular choice for many individuals looking to start their own business, this path also has a reputation for high failure rate. But, a number of business studies have shown that the failures are not so much due to the nature of the business but to the fact of poor or inadequate planning.

That is why it is important to have seasoned professionals on your side to not only guide you but to make sure that the right and well-planned choices are made. This takes experience that goes well beyond mere “Google searches!”

When you work with Lucas Insurance you know that you are choosing a Bar Insurance Provider that will secure your business properly without second guesses. We help you protect what you value, at the best available rates combined with the coverage you need. It is our job to help you to be insured and protected now with coverage options that your business needs.

And when it come to experience, rest assured as Lucas Insurance has been proudly serving the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita business community for over three decades!

Is California the Most Litigious State in the Union?

California, most litigious state, lawsuits, judgements, being sued

Is California the most litigious state in the Union?

California most litigious state, lawsuit, being sued

Well, whether we are number one or not hardly matters as we are certainly one of the top spots for lawsuits, settlements and complex legislation. But the question “Is California the most litigious state” is frequently asked.

According to a 2016 report by ATRA.org on “Judicial Hellholes,” California ranked number one on their list. As they said, “California is the epicenter for lawyers trolling to bring disability access lawsuits against small businesses and ridiculous class action lawsuits against food and beverage companies.”  

Another site, www.chiefexecutive.net, has ranked California as the worst place to do business and this conclusion was largely based upon the direct impact of excessive litigation on job creation and the ability of businesses to survive and thrive. Unlike legislatures in most other states, California’s General Assembly rarely acts to limit lawsuit abuse… “

And, according to a report by CALA (Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse) titled More Lawyers, Less Public Services: The Cost of Litigation to California’s Cities and Counties,” California is the most litigious state in the country.

And to make matters worse, according to www.judicialhellholes.org, Los Angeles County historically has been the most lawsuit-loving jurisdiction in California.

Our “Golden State” is very friendly towards lawsuits, big settlements and is loaded with lawyers pursuing those big dollar payouts. Add to this the fact that the legislature passes tons of complex laws and you have a recipe for disaster for the small business owner in this state.

And to make matters worse, our worker friendly legislature has repeated attempted to pass legislation to force business into the legal system, not only making the cost-effective alternative of arbitration difficult to obtain, or even unavailable, but adding criminal penalties to the business owner. And while arbitration may seem expensive at an average of $6000 per arbitration, this cost pales against the YEARS of litigation and legal costs that can break even a successful business.

And simply following the law and running a sound business is not protection as any business, or individual, is open to frivolous lawsuits that can kill you with legal costs regardless of fault. 

How to protect your small business from lawsuits 

Caution: It would not only be impossible to present a full protection plan, as this is an extensive subject and requires a highly individualized approach, but it would be a disservice as a proper protection plan is best done with an experienced professional, such as a trusted lawyer or insurance broker.

That being said, there are several general steps that any business should take:

  • Ensure that your business is properly titled and formed. The type of business entity and how it is established could be your first wall of protection.
  • Find a good lawyer, both business and employment, and see that your business complies with the law.
  • Seek out an insurance broker that understands the needs, and risks, of a business owner. This is a very, very important step as without proper insurance and a top insurance company that has your back you could lose everything.
  • Cleanly separate out your business assets from your personal assets. Talk to your lawyer and to your accountant to ensure that there are clear lines between your personal assets and the business.

Finally, whatever you do, TAKE ACTION NOW! If you wait until a lawsuit strikes then it is likely too late as the courts will view any protective actions taken after the fact of a suit as fraudulent and invalid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to Get Restaurant and Bar Insurance in Santa Clarita Valley

bartender, bar, pub, lancaster, palmdale

Looking for Restaurant and Bar Insurance in the Santa Clarita Valley?

The Santa Clarita Valley may seem like “small town USA”, but there are dozens of restaurants and bars in Santa Clarita alone.. If you are one of the owners, then you already know how tough if can be to run a bar or restaurant. And solid bar and restaurant insurance is a critical part of running a successful business that can survive.

Running a restaurant, bar or nightclub is full of responsibilities and never-ending tasks. Just the hiring and training of staff can be a full time job! And you still need to focus on top level customer service, be proactive in your sales and marketing efforts to bring more people to your restaurant regularly–not to mention dealing with health inspections, paying bills, and of course there always seem to be those that jump to leave negative reviews or complaints.

With all these pressures that come from managing your business, the last thing you want to worry about is getting sideswiped by a lawsuit or other claim that could seriously hurt your business. While we may live and work in the Golden State, California is also considered one of the most litigious states in the nation.

What Are the Types of Insurance Policies for Food and Alcohol Establishments

Restaurant and Bar InsuranceInsurance isn’t something that most business owners like to think about. Not only would they rather focus on running their restaurant, making money and expanding but insurance is there to protect against circumstances that many of us would rather not think about! Avoiding the negative is a natural way to think but it is also extremely risky to ignore the risks that can occur when you least expect them. And so, restaurant and bar insurance coverage is a necessity for all those different situations that could arise.

Food poisoning, disgruntled employees, discriminatory treatment and so forth are all common reasons that restaurants get sued. There are also natural disasters, fires, plumbing related floods or even the loss of perishables during prolonged power outages. The point is that there are multiple reasons why food and beverage establishments must have the right kind, or kinds, of insurance.

Just are there are multiple sources of risks, there are different types of restaurant & bar insurance policies to protect your business. These include:

  • General liability insurance–this protects against property damage and personal injury claims made by third parties
  • Inventory insurance–helpful in cases of food loss or spoilage
  • Property insurance–protects against damage caused by fire, lightning, and other natural disasters
  • Food and beverage insurance–these are special food and beverage insurance and flood insurance policies that may be helpful for your specific restaurant or bar
  • Liquor liability insurance–most establishments that serve alcohol take out liquor liability insurance policies. These policies will protect you if a customer has too much to drink and then attempts to drive afterward. If one of your customers hurts either themselves or others on the road during their drive back home, you will be protected
  • Workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance–support the well-being of your staff and guard you against any potential conflict they could have with your business
  • Commercial auto insurance–If your restaurant offers delivery, adding commercial auto insurance will protect company vehicles from damage or theft. This coverage is valid for any private or commercial vehicles that are borrowed, leased, owned, or rented by your company.
  • Owner life insurance–You may also want to take out a life insurance policy for yourself. In the worst-case scenario, this will help keep your business in the family even if you are no longer with them. It can also help cover the mortgage on your business property and pay for bills.

How Much Does Insurance Cost for a Nightclub, Restaurant, Pub or Bar?

Just like that famous question, “how long is a piece of string” the only way to answer it is to measure it. In the case of a small business, such as a restaurant or bar, the first step is to assess the needs and the risks–and this is where a trained, licensed and experienced commercial insurance agent is worth their weight.

But, as a good restaurant owner/operator is always cost conscious, the first question is likely to be, “How much does this kind of insurance coverage cost?” Of course, restaurant insurance varies by location and by size, but many typical restaurants pay as little as $150 to $200 per month for insurance. Due to the risks involve, bar insurance can be considerably more expensive–often costing several thousand dollars a month.

As you saw above, there are multiple types of insurance needed and in most cases these can be combined and packaged. This is not only more convenient but normally a policy package provides a discounted rate as well.

Adding extra coverage for life insurance, unemployment, workers’ comp insurance, and other forms of insurance will of course add up for further charges. If your business is seasonal, then this could make a difference as well. But as complicated as all of this sounds, the fact is that we take care of the “devilish details” so you can focus on running your business.

These insurance policies are there to protect your business from failing and it is our job to see that you are covered.

And, importantly, you may qualify for additional savings if you buy all of your policies through the same firm or agent, such as Lucas Insurance Services. Give us a call at 661-255-6363 today, and we will help you get all the quality coverage you need at the cheapest price!

Nightclub Insurance and Bar Insurance Companies

Why You Need Coverage: The Risk of Owning a Nightclub and Bar

The bar and nightclub business can be risky. In fact, it is one of the riskiest businesses you can own. It requires putting in such an excellent investment in the venue, liquor, and workers. Many accidents could occur. If they did, it would hurt your business to pay even more for damage and liabilities. Nightclub and bar insurance packages can guarantee that you don’t have to pay for any depreciation or liabilities caused by your business.

There are many different accidents that could occur in a nightclub or bar. The risks of this business include food poisoning from poor sanitation or mishandling food, assault, vandalism, robbery, fires, and lawsuits resulting from all of the previous incidents. If your customers are intoxicated, the chances of these incidents will increase. With this in mind, it’s important to have a reliable insurance plan for your business that will protect you from all these undesirable situations. Reliable insurance will conserve your profits. Paying for an insurance plan can save you if you reach a time of crisis and loss. It will defend you from unforeseen and uncontrollable events.

Nightclub and Bar Insurance Packages

We offer several packages for nightclub and bar insurance to help you maintain high profits for your business and keep your investment. Some of our packages come with a bonus, and some are made exceptionally affordable for you. Here are some examples of coverage that we offer:

1. Liability Coverage: Liability is the most important package for your business. It is divided into two areas: general liability and liquor liability. General liability coverage protects you from the general costs of accidents that may occur, especially accidents that involve other people in your place of business. Liquor liability covers all alcohol-related injuries or accidents.

2. Building Coverage: This package is useful for businesses that own their building. It helps you with any building-related accident. It also covers the cost of your building in case of damages from fire, storms, and other natural disasters.

3. Food Contamination Coverage: Sometimes your employees could mishandle the food you serve, leading to food poisoning for one of your customers. This could make your business vulnerable to a lawsuit. This package protects you by dealing with any incidents caused by the mismanagement of food.

4. Equipment Breakdown Coverage: As you know, bars and nightclubs usually own expensive equipment that could be damaged. This insurance policy protects businesses from financial strain in the event that their expensive equipment is damaged.

The government may also require you to have a specific package. In that case, we can help you get the insurance they require at affordable prices. Getting nightclub and bar insurance in Santa Clarita CA will go smoothly for you when you find the perfect insurance package for your business. Insurance is a critical component of every successful business. Contact us at 661-255-6363 to get a quote for the best insurance plan for your business.

Insurance For Santa Clarita Apartment Building Owners

Your apartment building should be insured to at least 90% of its replacement cost and only a professional Santa Clarita property appraiser can advise you on the actual replacement cost of the apartment building or property that you are looking to insure here in the Santa Clarita Valley.

The Apartment Building Insurance coverage should include building ordinance. Most apartment building insurance policies contain a sub limit of coverage available for building ordinance coverage. Building ordinance is often overlooked but can be the greater part of your cost to get the building rebuilt in the event of a loss. Be sure you have an adequate amount of insurance for ordinance and that it covers the following:

  • Property
  • Liability
  • Medical
  • Business Income Insurance
  • Excess Insurance Coverage

Apartment Building Insurance in Santa Clarita

Apartment Building Insurance: Coverage A provides coverage for loss to the undamaged portion of the building. It pays for the loss of value of the undamaged portion of the building that has to be taken down due to the building code or ordinance imposed following a covered loss. This in effect creates a total loss of your building. Since the building no longer meets code it must be torn down or demolished and re-built to code.

Apartment Building Insurance: Coverage B pays for the cost to demolish and remove the undamaged portions of your Santa Clarita apartment building insurance however the destruction must be due to the building code or ordinance imposed following a covered loss.

Apartment Building Insurance: Coverage C provides for the increased costs incurred to repair or rebuild the property to comply with current ordinance or law. One insurance policy coverage option is coverage for your loss of rents. Most insurance policies provide coverage for 18 months or for the actual loss sustained for a period of 12 months. You do have options and your professional insurance agent at Lucas Insurance Services can make these options available to you for your consideration.

Santa Clarita Apartment Building Insurance

The experts at Lucas Insurance Services will make sure your Santa Clarita apartment owners insurance policy pays the cost to replace appliances that are included in the rental unit such as stoves, refrigerators and dish washers.   In addition to that you might have to replace carpeting or flooring or window treatments.  These items often get overlooked when values are being placed on the replacement or repair to your apartment building.  Without proper guidance you can be left paying out of pocket expenses for items that should have been included in your Santa Clarita apartment building owners’ insurance portfolio.

 

Apartment Insurance Santa Clarita

Just as you carefully insure your real and personal property you must also pay attention to the liability section of your policy.  If your apartment building is worth $5,000,000 do not buy liability insurance for $1,000,000. A liability claim can wipe out your assets just as fast as a fire can destroy your building.

Under your liability section you should look for the endorsement for Personal Injury. This endorsement protects you for claims made against you by your tenants for wrongful entry, wrongful eviction, invasion of privacy and discrimination. This type of claim can come with a pretty big price for the defense of the claim and has the potential for a large settlement paid to the claimant.

When you are building your Antelope Valley apartment building owners insurance policy whether it is in Valencia, Newhall or Canyon Country you should always look to a trusted advisor at Lucas Insurance Services in Santa Clarita.  We are local and we know the risks you face. More importantly we know how to protect you against those risks.
