Berkshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance Companies recently added a Commercial Automobile product in Delaware, Kentucky, and the District of Columbia. The company's policy is designed for local and intermediate travel exposures up to a 200-mile radius. According to CEO Sy Foguel, "We continue to expand our commercial lines portfolio nationwide to supply our network of independent agents with quality products that enable them to grow. Our Commercial Auto product, now available in 43 jurisdictions, is an ideal complement to our other lines of business in these territories, including Workers' Compensation, Businessowner's Policies, and Commercial Umbrella with more soon to follow."

Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread announced the launch of the North Dakota Insurance Department's LiveChat application on its redesigned website. This app is the first of its kind across all North Dakota state agencies. "Providing the LiveChat application and a more easily navigable website will allow us to assist North Dakotans more efficiently and share information more transparently," Godfread said in a statement. The LiveChat app allows individuals to chat with department employees via the department's website.
