    Retail’s exposure

    Retail staff deal with the public all day, often handle cash and sometimes work alone. All Other General Merchandise Stores is #21 on Coterie’s Top 100 classes list (December 2025), a class Coterie actively writes.

    When a confrontation escalates

    A dispute over a return, a shoplifting confrontation or a robbery can turn violent. Afterward you may need security, cleanup, counseling for employees and a temporary way to keep selling while the store is closed.

    What the endorsement covers

    The workplace violence endorsement pays for the response after a violent event at work: a crisis management expert, a public relations consultant, mental health counseling, site security, bio-hazard cleanup, business interruption, temporary location and staff costs, and burial, reward and travel expenses. The aggregate limit is $50K or $100K.

    Resources for owners and staff

    Policyholders also get an online portal with risk management resources, crisis management services, and workplace violence training and education for owners and staff. Training helps staff recognize warning signs and know how to respond.

    Eligibility and availability

    Workplace violence coverage is an endorsement to a Coterie BOP or GL policy for businesses with up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees. Availability is confirmed by business address at quote time, and all coverage is subject to underwriting.

    Adding it to your policy

    Pricing depends on business type. Add it when you quote your BOP or GL online, or ask America Insurance Brokers to include it. Coterie’s digital process means you can see coverage options in minutes, and America Insurance Brokers stays involved as your independent agency for questions, certificates and renewals. Policyholders also get Manage My Risk, a free set of safety guides and risk assessments.

    A class Coterie knows well

    On Coterie’s own Top 100 classes list from December 2025, All Other General Merchandise Stores is ranked #21. In other words, this is a business type Coterie actively writes.

    Where claims come from

    Watch for falling merchandise, slippery entryways and customer injuries. Every shopper is a potential claim, and landlords usually require GL. A customer’s medical bills or a repair bill for someone else’s property can fall on you if you’re found negligent.

    Two ways to protect the business

    General liability (GL): covers bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury claims. Limits run from $300K to $2M per occurrence, with aggregates at double the per-occurrence limit.

    Business owner’s policy (BOP): A BOP protects inventory, fixtures and signs and adds business income. Bundling everything in one policy keeps renewals and certificates simple.

    Appetite notes for this class

    One location per policy, plus size and loss-history limits, apply. General eligibility: up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, no more than two losses in five years (none over $15K), and no prior cancellations or non-renewals.

    The service side

    Coterie lets you get a quote and bind online, and AIB can issue certificates of insurance on demand so you’re not waiting when a landlord or client asks. Policyholders also get Manage My Risk, with free safety checklists, OSHA updates and personalized risk plans.

    Coverage is subject to underwriting and availability.
