General Liability
Your employee is replacing outdated plumbing in an older home. During the process, their tools accidentally fall and break a pipe joint, causing water damage to the home’s interior. General Liability insurance could help pay for the repair costs of the damage and any legal defense fees if the homeowner decides to file a claim against your business for damages.
Errors and Omissions
A few weeks after installing a new water heater in a residential home, the water heater malfunctions and causes significant water damage to the customer’s basement. Despite your best efforts, the customer claims negligence on your part, alleging improper installation. Errors and Omissions coverage could help protect you by covering legal fees and potential repair costs incurred due to the alleged error in the installation process.
Workers’ Compensation
Your employee is working in a cramped crawl space to repair a leak. While maneuvering in the tight area, they severely strain their back. This injury requires medical treatment, physical therapy, and time away from work to recover. Workers’ Compensation coverage could help provide financial assistance for medical treatments and a portion of the lost wages during the recovery period.
Commercial Auto
Your employee is driving a company work vehicle to a job site and is involved in a traffic accident, resulting in significant damage to the vehicle and bodily injury to the other driver. Commercial Auto insurance can help cover the repair costs for the vehicle and any liability claims for damages to the other vehicle involved in the accident. It can also help pay for medical bills the other driver may incur as part of their recovery.
Inland Marine
While working on a large commercial project, your employees leave their tools and various plumbing fittings at the secured job site overnight. Unfortunately, there is a break-in at the site, and their equipment and tools are stolen. Inland Marine insurance could help provide financial compensation for the stolen items, allowing your employees to replace the stolen items quickly and continue their work with minimal delay, ensuring the project’s progress isn’t significantly postponed.

Shari Manteufel
Shari brings many years of experience in the insurance industry, joining SECURA in 2019 as a product manager in our Research and Development Department. Before that, she held positions at Auto-Owners Insurance and Lake States Insurance Company. Her career journey began in the medical field, where she worked as a medical transcriptionist.
Proud of working her way up in the insurance industry without a college degree, Shari considers earning her CPCU designation — especially passing the challenging finance course — a major accomplishment. She achieved her CPCU in 2016 and had the unforgettable opportunity to attend the conferment ceremony in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Outside of work, Shari enjoys watercolor and acrylic painting, crafting, reading, traveling, camping, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. She has been married to her husband, Tim, for 28 years. The two first met when she was 15 years old and her dad brought her to see Tim’s country-rock band perform. They now share two children: their son Nick, married to Mattea, and their daughter Aleya, who attends UW–Milwaukee.
Shari takes pride in providing outstanding service and helping agents quote and issue great accounts with SECURA. She is always willing to chat about accounts or assist agents quoting in BizLink.

Zak Markert
Before joining SECURA in 2023, Zak worked at State Farm Insurance as a sales associate and later as a sales associate manager. During his time at Sate Farm, he completed the Agent Aspirant Program, which is one of his proudest accomplishments.
When Zak was in high school he experienced his 15 minutes of fame when he performed a Plain White T’s song with his choir. The performance was recorded and posted to the school’s Facebook page. The band saw the video, loved it, and shared it on their Facebook page as well.
Outside of work, Zak enjoys keeping up with all things sports — if you ever want to talk about sports, or your fantasy league, give Zak a call! When he’s not chatting about sports, you can find him playing volleyball or out on the water. He recently received his passport and is excited to travel outside of the country.
