If you have been asked to include primary noncontributory wording on your COI, here’s why:

Basically, having primary and non-contributory wording on your COI means that your insurance company will be responsible for paying any claims as the PRIMARY, or first, option without contribution from any other parties’ or companies’ insurance.

Please watch our video “What does primary non-contributory mean?” For a more detailed example and definition.

You are being asked to include primary noncontributory wording on your COI because the company or party requesting this COI from you wants this added protection as a way to mitigate risk from their company.

Ask your insurance agent or broker if adding primary noncontributory wording on your COI is right for your business. Thanks for watching and commenting with any questions (:
