Common Questions

Quick answers to what Long Island homeowners and business owners ask most.

Do I need workers' compensation insurance in New York if I only have one employee?
Yes. New York requires workers' comp for virtually all businesses with one or more employees — penalties for going without include fines, personal liability, and criminal charges. Learn more →
How do I know if I'm overpaying for workers' compensation?
The most common causes are employee misclassification, incorrect payroll reporting, and a disputed experience modification rate. A free review with Tricia takes under an hour and catches these issues. Schedule your review →
Does my homeowners insurance cover flood damage on Long Island?
No. Standard homeowners insurance specifically excludes flooding. South Shore and coastal homeowners especially need a separate flood policy. Learn about flood insurance →

An independent agent like Tricia works for you — not for any one insurance company. She shops your policy across multiple carriers to find the best coverage at the best price, and stays with you through audits, claims, and renewals.
