There have been many questions raised as to why Cal-Trans replaced a concrete center divider on Hwy 1 between State Park Drive and Rio Del Mar Boulevard with another concrete center divider in the same location. Cal-Trans has made a statement saying that over the past 10 years Hwy 1 has been repaved numerous times to maintain a smooth road surface. With the surface of the road rising as a result of repaving the height of the barrier has decreased in size over the years making it unsafe for drivers, especially those with larger vehicles.
The old barrier was a type 50 and 32 inches high and the new barrier is a type 60 and is 36 inches high. The height of this new barrier will allow HWY 1 to have more overlays before it will have to be replaced with a new one. This means that this new concrete center divider that was put in will be able to be around for quite a bit of time before it will no longer be safe for divers.

I have had Scurich Insurance cover my home, vehicles, trailer and boat for so many years I can’t remember who I had last. I haven’t spent any time shopping around because due to previous experience I have been well taken care of after many incidents in my life that required assistance, attention and insurance coverage. To me that is worth any money that I might save by leaving for a less expensive company. Thank you.

Each state has its own workers’ compensation laws to handle claims from employees who are injured on the job. These laws are strict liability – fault and negligence by the employer are not considered in order to collect benefits. Punitive damages are not available to the employee. The legal defenses available in a civil action such as comparative negligence and assumption of the risk are not available to the employer in workers’ compensation.
However, the injury or illness has to be incurred in the course of employment in order for the workers’ compensation system to provide benefits to the injured worker. Workers’ compensation is generally the exclusive remedy for an employee’s injuries or illnesses arising out of the course of employment. It is typically required by the state for every employee – although state law may provide for specific exemptions for officers/owners, small companies (those with three/four/five or fewer employees), domestic workers, farm hands, and independent contractors.
Fill out the form below and one of our helpful and friendly agents at Scurich Insurance Services will contact you to answer any of your questions about your worker’s compensation insurance policy!

To help you make sure make sure that your business has the right Commercial Auto policy at the right price, we’d recommend following these guidelines:
Make sure to cover all vehicles that your employees drive on company business. This could include vehicles that employees own, lease, or rent – as well as those that the company owns.
Determine whether you need Personal or Commercial Auto insurance. You might be able to save money by covering vehicles with a less expensive Personal Auto policy in some situations — for example, by registering title to a vehicle in your name. However, if the company owns the vehicle, you’ll need Commercial Auto coverage. Bear in mind that a Personal Auto policy should include the contents of the vehicle, as well as medical costs if a driver suffers an injury on company business.
Be sure to comparison shop. Because every insurance company sets Commercial Auto premiums and coverages in its own way, prices (and values) can vary significantly. Because we represent a variety of companies, we can offer professional advice on finding a policy that’s tailored to your needs — and pocketbook. Just give us a call.

Last month the Senate rejected a particular amendment to the farm bill S. 3240 that “…would have stripped the Federal Crop Insurance Program (FCIP) budget baseline by $5 billion, leading to a 37 percent reduction in Administrative and Operating (A&O) funds, and would have reduced the overall program cap to $825 million.”
The Administrative and Operative funds was used partly to pay to pay the agents commissions of the agents upon the sale of crop insurance. The cut that was proposed would have been on top of additional cuts that have already been made.
Industry officials have been quoted at saying, “At a time when farmers are being asked to rely on crop insurance even more as their primary risk management tool, it seems irresponsible to further deplete the crop program of its critical resources,” according to Charles Symington, senior vice president of government affairs for the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America.”
Scurich Insurance Services cares about any problems that you maybe going through on your farm. Contact any of the friendly and helpful agents at Scurich Insurance Services with any of your questions regarding your agriculture insurance policy.
