WHY DO CONTRACTORS NEED INSURANCE?


IS CONTRACTORS INSURANCE REQUIRED BY LAW?

Depending on where you work, general liability contractors insurance can be
required by law, as a minimum insurance coverage for contracting business.
Regulations regarding contractor insurance vary by state and even by city. We
recommend you check your local guidelines for exact legal requirements. Even so,
we believe general liability contractor insurance is a good idea for any
business.


WHY DO I NEED CONTRACTORS INSURANCE?

Contractors liability insurance offers your business protection and peace of
mind for even the unpredictable parts of life and being a business owner. With
the right independent contractor insurance, you can do your work and focus on
the job at hand without fear of what could happen or worry about if something
goes wrong.


WHAT’S THE IMPACT ON YOUR BUSINESS?

Customers want a contractor who’s confident. Contractor general liability
insurance is one way you can show them that you have an edge on your
competition, with a serious insurance policy and certificate of insurance for
contractors, just like they’d expect. When you have affordable contractors
insurance which you can pay monthly, the impact on your profitability is small,
while the impact on your level of professionalism is huge. Insurance for
self-employed contractors proves to your customers that not only will you do
your job properly, but you’ll take care of them even in the unlikely case of an

RECOMMENDED CONTRACTOR INSURANCE COVERAGE:

When it comes to contractors insurance, you need to know that you’re getting all
the coverage you need. In order to be confident that you have the the best
contractor insurance for your needs, you should understand what you’re getting.
Here’s an explanation of the most important coverage for contractor liability
insurance:


GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE

General liability insurance for contractors is the basis of solid insurance
coverage. General liability insurance covers many different types of situations,
but at its core it offers protection in case something goes wrong and your
business is to blame.

Contractors general liability insurance coverage related to damage related to
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. Those terms can be a bit
confusing, so allow us to explain.

Bodily injury in this case is a physical injury to a third party–not you or one
of your employees, but someone else altogether. So if someone trips on an
extension cord you were using and breaks their wrist, or a tool you were working
with falls and hits someone on their foot and they need stitches, or even if
someone walks into your office and falls, you could be blamed and your
independent contractor insurance could cover you.

Personal injury is a bit more complicated when it comes to contractors
insurance. It refers not to physical injuries, but rather to if you accidentally
commit copyright infringement by using someone else’s photo in an advertisement,
or make fun of a competitor and are sued for defamation of character, or
something similar. In that case, your contractors general liability insurance
might be relevant.

Finally, contractor liability insurance also includes property damage. Given how
much time most contractors like you spend on property that doesn’t belong to
you, it’s probably not hard to imagine that at some point you could cause or be
blamed for property damage. Whether it’s a ladder scratching a hardwood floor,
or even an appliance getting damaged while you are moving it, you’ll want to be
sure your contractors liability insurance covers property damage.


PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE

While general liability insurance for contractors is a must , professional
liability is also important coverage. Professional liability insurance covers
you for cases where you are accused of not having done your job properly,
whether that’s true or not.

For contractors, that could include a case of a sink not being installed
properly so it requires someone to reinstall it, or a paint job that wasn’t
completed to a customer’s satisfaction if they make a claim that it has to be
redone.

Professional liability insurance claims for contractors are often much smaller
than general liability claims, which is why the professional liability coverage
that we include in our contractors insurance comes with lower limits.

It’s also important to note that professional liability is sometimes referred to
as “errors and omissions insurance,” or “E&O.”

FAQ

We have a section of questions contractors frequently ask about contractors
liability insurance, and you’re welcome to check it out. In addition, here are
some of the questions we get asked most frequently:


WHAT IF I DO MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES? HANDYMAN AND PLUMBER, ELECTRICIAN AND PAINTER?



Doing multiple activities is not a problem for getting contractor insurance from
us. if you do different tasks, you should apply for a general contractor policy,
and in the questionnaire you fill out, you will have space to indicate exactly
what percentage of the time you spend on each.

We understand that you do different tasks, and that won’t stop you from getting
your independent contractor liability insurance.




HOW MUCH IS CONTRACTORS INSURANCE?



Contractor insurance costs can vary based on the size of your business, what
sort of activities you do, and even where you’re located. Different states have
different risk profiles, so it’s hard to give you an independent contractor
insurance cost estimate without the details of your business.

Professionals such as electricians and landscapers pay a median price of under
$1 per day, or about $29 per month, while carpenters and handymen pay around $41
per month, or just over $1 per day. Roofers tend to do more dangerous work and
therefore have a higher contractor liability insurance cost, on average $133 per
month.

The best way to figure out your personal contractor insurance cost is to get a
quote. The whole process is completely online and takes only a few minutes.




HOW DO I KNOW I CAN TRUST YOU?



Buying insurance for contractors can be confusing, as you try to figure out who
you can trust. One of the best ways to decide where to buy your policy is to
check out reviews from customers just like you. Take a look at the reviews our
customers have left and you’ll see that our promise of simple, affordable,
tailored contractor liability insurance isn’t just a promise, but is truly what
