Running a business means managing risk every day. While many employers spend time thinking about major incidents or catastrophic claims, some of the most common workplace issues are also the most preventable. Two areas that regularly cause problems for employers are slip-and-fall injuries and handling employee medical issues properly. Both can lead to costly claims, regulatory scrutiny, or legal exposure if they are not handled carefully.

Road rage is no longer an occasional headline. It has become a growing safety concern, particularly for commercial motor vehicle operators. While professional drivers are rarely the aggressors, they are often the most affected due to the size and visibility of their vehicles and the heightened level of scrutiny they face from the public, law enforcement, and the courts. This reality makes prevention and de-escalation an essential part of any strong safety culture.

At Roland Abbott and DeZoort Insurance, we believe understanding these changes is essential.
