Contractor Insurance
Contractors work across a range of industries, and each workplace presents its own unique set of challenges. Whether you run an electrical, excavation, plumbing, construction, or any other type of contracting business, your financial security depends on the ability of your employees and subcontractors to work safely and efficiently. Contractor insurance is not just an expense; it’s a critical investment in the stability and success of your business.
​
Having a comprehensive contractor insurance package, covering general liability, workers' compensation, fleet insurance, contractor’s equipment insurance, commercial umbrella, and more, is essential to safeguard your company against potential liabilities arising from your contracting operations.
​
When it comes to on-the-job injuries sustained by employees or subcontractors, not having the proper protection can put you at significant financial risk. Although contractor injuries have decreased considerably over the past 20 years, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) still ranks the contracting industry among the top ten most hazardous occupations. In fact, maintenance contractors are six times more likely than standard industrial workers to suffer a fatality.

Whether you're a general contractor, a specialty contractor, or a subcontractor, having a solid contractor insurance policy is essential. Protecting your business from the high costs of litigation and potential damages is critical, especially if someone is injured or property is damaged due to your negligence.
