Additionally, contractor insurance includes coverage designed for specific industry risks. Our agency can find a customized policy that includes coverage most suitable to you.

 

If you are hiring contractors, you want them to have contractor insurance. Insurance you carry as a business or homeowner may not protect you from liability for a contract worker. This can expose you to lawsuits if a worker gets injured at your business or home.

What types of contractors insurance are available?

There is a wide variety of contractor insurance options. Here are common coverages for independent contractors.

• Bodily Injury and Property Damage - This coverage is for contractors who work with heavy machinery and need to be prepared for accidents due to power tools and other hazards.
  
  
• Professional Liability - For contractors who provide consulting and advice, this coverage can protect you from liability risks due to losses a client may experience. It protects your business’s finances if a client accuses you of errors, whether due to mistake or negligence.
  
  
• Commercial Vehicle - Any vehicles owned by your business must adhere to state auto insurance laws. You can also protect your vehicles from various damages.
