The Upstate Impaired Mobility Hunt

The Upstate Impaired Mobility Hunt is held the first weekend in November by the SC Department of Natural Resources. This past November, 100 deer hunters who are mobility-impaired participated in this annual hunt made possible with the help of 20 hunt clubs across the Upstate. Tom Bates of HBB is a member of one of the hunt clubs that contributed its hunting location and 4 ground blinds for the event.

EPLI Coverage: It’s Just Good Business.

According to national statistics, businesses are more likely to face an employment claim than a property or general liability claim! In a recent survey, 73.5% of companies defended employment-related litigation in the last three years.

That’s why HBB offers Employment Practices Liability Insurance. EPLI is coverage that protects employers from discrimination, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, sexual harassment and many more types of workplace claims.

The financial ramifications of not having EPLI insurance can be crippling, especially for small firms, which statistically suffer 40% of all workplace claims. The average cost to defend an EPLI claim is $125,000 and the average settlement is $200,000.

Herlong Bates Burnett is ready to provide your company with the EPLI coverage to match your needs. For a quick estimate of cost and coverage, email or call Michael Herlong (864-331-3304) or Tom Bates (864-331-3305) with the following information:
