Frequency Asked Contractors Insurance Questions

  1. When you drop a hammer off a roof and it causes damages.

    As a hired contractor on a client’s premises, you are responsible for the safety of all parties around your work. For example, if a neighbor was injured by something falling from the area you are working in, you could be found liable for injury or property damage that occurs. Those legal expenses could cause your business serious financial harm.

    A Commercial General Liability policy can help to defend and pay settlements if you are found negligent.

  2. There is a fire on a job site - what now?

    If your portable heater is left too close to flammable material and catches fire at a construction site, you may be held responsible for all costs to repair and/or replace the damaged property. The destruction of an entire home could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair and could devastate your business financially.

  3. What if someone steals your tools out of your truck?

    If your tools are properly locked and secured in your work vehicle but a thief is able to gain entry and steal them, you could be unable to earn an income and/or complete current contracts.

    A Commercial Property Insurance policy could replace your tools and pay lost income while you are unable to work.
