Protect Your Contracting Business From Key Liabilities
​
Jobsite Liabilities
Every project comes with risks. Whether it’s damage to a client’s property, an injury caused by your equipment, or unforeseen issues with your work, you need protection against costly claims. General Liability Insurance is essential for contractors, providing coverage for property damage, bodily injury, and legal fees.
​
Employee Liabilities
In the contracting industry, workplace hazards are a reality. From power tools to heavy equipment, your employees are exposed to risks every day. Workers' Compensation Insurance ensures medical expenses and lost wages are covered if an employee is injured, protecting you from liability while supporting your team.
​
Professional Liabilities
Mistakes happen, even to the best professionals. If a client claims your work was incomplete, caused damage, or failed to meet expectations, you could face costly legal action. Professional Liability Insurance (Errors & Omissions) helps cover these claims, ensuring your reputation and finances remain intact.
​
Commercial Auto Liabilities
Contractors rely on vehicles to transport tools, equipment, and materials to job sites. If an accident occurs while on the job, you could face significant expenses. A Commercial Auto Insurance policy protects your business from liability for vehicle-related damages or injuries.
​
Tools & Equipment Coverage
Your tools and equipment are the backbone of your work. If they’re damaged, lost, or stolen, it could halt your projects and cost you dearly. Inland Marine Insurance offers protection for the tools and equipment you rely on, whether they’re in transit or at a job site.
​
Cyber Liabilities
In today’s digital age, contractors often rely on technology for billing, communication, and scheduling. Unfortunately, this opens the door to potential cyberattacks. Cyber Liability Insurance protects your business from data breaches, covering costs related to legal fees, recovery, and customer notifications.
