Why do I need specific pharmacy insurance?
Because some pharmacy activities expose you to specific risks relating to health, stocks or data.
Est-ce que toutes les assurances incluent une protection contre les cyberrisques ?
No, this warranty is often offered as an option. It is essential to check if it is included or add it according to your computer systems.
Combien coûte une assurance pour pharmacie ?
The cost of insurance depends on factors such as the size of the pharmacy, inventory value, revenue, and claims history. It could vary greatly depending on this profile.
What are the main coverages in pharmacy insurance insurance?
A typical pharmacy insurance insurance policy in Quebec includes: general civil liability (damage to third parties), commercial property (building, equipment, stock), equipment breakdown, business interruption (income loss after a claim), and depending on the sector, professional liability or cyber-risks. Exact coverage varies by insurer and profile — your partner broker tailors the policy to your operations.
What exclusions should I check before signing?
The most common exclusions in business insurance: intentional acts, normal wear and tear, claims occurring before the policy period, certain catastrophic risks (flood, earthquake — often optional), mobile equipment off-site, and undeclared activities. Always read the exclusion clauses and declare all your operations to avoid claim denial.
Can I bundle my pharmacy insurance insurance with auto or home?
Yes. Most of our AMF-certified partner brokerage firms offer multi-product bundling. Combining business insurance with auto or home can generate a discount of 10 to 15% on total premiums, plus simplified management (one point of contact, one renewal date). At Assur360, the quote systematically evaluates the bundled option.
How does professional liability (E&O) insurance work?
Professional liability (E&O) covers errors, omissions or negligence committed in the course of your profession, plus legal defence costs. It differs from general liability (which covers bodily or property damage to third parties). Depending on your sector, E&O can be strongly recommended or required by contract (e.g. by clients or professional associations).
