General liability insurance has a broader application than many other policies as it covers most instances of property damage and bodily injury to workers, customers and other third parties. Among other possible coverages, general liability insurance covers attorney fees, settlement costs and medical bills to ensure your business does not suffer a monetary loss stemming from a potential lawsuit.

Whether you are a grower, processor, transporter or retailer of cannabis in Colorado, you need a product liability insurance policy. When you choose MFE Insurance, product liability insurance covers legal payments (attorney fees, settlements, etc.), medical costs of the third-party who made the claim if necessary and property damage costs that result from using your cannabis product.
Crop & Inventory/Finished Stock Insurance
There are a plethora of different accidents that can occur during the cannabis cultivation process. From natural disasters that destroy the plant, to damages that occur after the cannabis is prepared for sale. When accidents occur to your crop or inventory, MFE insurance can cover the cost and protect your Colorado cannabis business from monetary loss.

Our commercial auto insurance policies at MFE Insurance cover both physical damages and theft (comprehension and collision), as well as property damage and bodily injury (auto liability).
Workers Compensation Insurance
With the exception of a few businesses, every Colorado cannabis business must provide workers compensation for their employees. At MFE Insurance, our policyholders are protected from monetary loss attributed to medical costs, replacement income, retraining cost and permanent injury compensation if an employee gets hurt while on the job.

Any business that manufactures or distributes consumable products should consider acquiring product recall insurance. Once a product is recalled and made public the manufacturers or distributors are responsible for retrieving the products back and properly disposing of them.
