  • Nini’s Avatar Nini ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    My father over the last few weeks has been really stressed and frantic over insurance from the emails and letters he been receiving and needing to get home insurance because he didn't understand why he had to pay so much and was under … More the impression he had home insurance. I am writing this review for my father to say that Eton Bridge Insurance, the team and especially Oshrei Mani who helped us and navigate us during this stressful time. Mani responds thoroughly and quick and was able to provide us with an insurance that we need and was kind enough after every email letting us know if we had any questions to ask. I would recommend their services as I can see they really care about the customers they provide.
  • K. S. K.’s Avatar K. S. K. ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    Eton Bridge is a stellar insurance business. I was able to work with Jasmine. She has been absolutely incredible working with me to help me obtain home insurance for my rental home in Florida. Insurance in FL has been incredibly difficult … More recently and had it not been for Jasmine's tenacity and work ethic it would have taken me much longer to obtain insurance. I really enjoyed working with her. She was transparent, very communicative and most importantly, I can tell she's a problem-solver. I worked with a few other agents who I felt simply took no for an answer and moved onto another client, without taking the time to trouble-shoot or brainstorm. You can train folks to do their jobs, but having that thoughtfulness and mindset to go beyond and dig deeper isn't something you can easily teach. Eton Bridge will be my go to for insurance in FL from now on.

The insurance
For Your Business

No business is the same, but many companies share common risks. These key commercial insurance policies can help protect your business from common accidents, lawsuits, and damages. We offer tailored policies to help protect your business from fast-moving risks.

General Liability

Provides coverage for third-party claims related to bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injuries. General Liability covers injuries occurring on your business premises or business activities that cause damage to someone else’s property.

Commercial Property

Commercial property insurance covers physical assets such as the business building, inventory, furniture, equipment, and fixtures against risks like fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters.

Workers Compensation

If your business has employees, workers’ compensation insurance is usually required by law in every state. It provides coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for employees who are injured on the job.

Commercial Auto

If your business owns vehicles used for business purposes, such as delivery trucks or service vehicles, commercial auto insurance provides coverage for those vehicles. This includes liability coverage for accidents and physical damage coverage for the vehicles.

Commercial Trucking

Commercial truck drivers often operate in a unique regulatory environment that requires specific coverage and liability protections. We’re familiar with these requirements and can help you secure the appropriate insurance policies.

Business Owners Policy

A business owner’s policy, aka BOP, is a cost effective way for small business owners to get general liability and commercial property insurance combined into a single policy.

Professional Liability

Professional liability insurance, aka Errors & Omissions (E&O), can help cover legal expenses if your business is sued for a mistake, missed deadline, project scope disputes, negligence, or other risks associated with customer satisfaction.

Commercial Umbrella

Commercial umbrella, aka Commercial Excess, provides additional coverage once the underlying policy reaches its limit. It can boost the coverage for general liability, commercial auto, and employer’s liability insurance.

Cyber Liability

Businesses today increasing rely on digital systems and store customer data electronically. Cyber liability insurance helps cover the costs associated with data breaches, including legal fees, notification costs, and credit monitoring for affected customers.
