Our Farm & Ranch coverage is one the most comprehensive and affordable coverage plans in the industry. It starts with the basics – your home, your farm or ranch, and your assets – and can extend to cover your personal and work vehicles, your crops, and even your livestock. You can even pick and choose the niche coverage you need, including natural disasters, identity fraud, animal collision and more.

Each year there are an average of 22 deaths per 100,000 farmers and ranchers nationwide. Accordingly, the National Safety Council lists farming as the second highest hazardous occupation in the United States, second only to mining.

At Alta Vista Insurance, we can even help you with liability coverage as well. Our flexible Farm & Ranch liability coverage can cover personal and farm liability, when you need it and as you need it. This extends to family farm partnerships, corporations, and trusts and can cover everything from your home to your heavy machinery to your livestock.

We can fold all of your coverage into one, all-encompassing policy, saving you time and money. In fact, with our Common Loss of Deductible clause you only pay one deductible if the same unfortunate event damages multiple pieces of property covered by separate policies. That’s our level of commitment to your protection – and your prosperity.

Data Breaches Mounting: Reviewing Cyber Liability Coverage

California businesses and government agencies have experienced 300 separate data breaches exposing the personal information of more than 20 million customer accounts. Cyber security is a key focus on our state’s top crime-fighting. Call us today and get your business protected with Cyber Liability Insurance! 1-888-724-2124

Good Afternoon, I’m George Francis President and CEO of Alta Vista Insurance Agency. Today I was going to do an article on “Business Income.” But I changed my mind after reading many articles in the various trade magazines I get, and from looking at a news article in today’s paper from the attorney general for the state of California, Carmella Harris. She indicated in the past year they had 300 separate data breach incidents reported to her office. Which is a 30% increase over 2012. It impacted over 20,000,000 people. And this doesn’t include Target and Neiman Marcus (data breaches), which you know about.

Data Breach impacts smaller companies as well. Our agency had 2 computers impacted by malware where they locked up the computer and demanded that we pay $300 for them to unlock it, or they would destroy the data on the computer. Luckily our IT guy was able to get rid of the (bad) information.

That’s kidnapping. And that happens all the time. But in addition to that, all of the data in your system is vulnerable. So we highly recommend that you talk to your insurance professional, or give us a call because data breach liability insurance is available.

One of the questions that you may want to ask yourself is, “Can you afford $50-$150 to notify every single person in your data base that’s been breached?” It’s a significant amount of money and it’s required.

I want to thank you, and I look forward to talking to you in the future. If you have any questions, please give me a call 1-888-724-2124.
