— And Why Fragos Insurance Group is Your Trusted Partner
What Is General Liability Insurance?
General liability insurance protects your business from common risks that can lead to costly lawsuits or claims. For contractors, this usually includes:
- Bodily Injury: If someone is injured due to your work or on your job site.
- Property Damage: If you accidentally damage a client’s property while working.
- Legal Defense Costs: If you’re sued, your policy can help cover legal fees.
- Personal and Advertising Injury: Protection against claims like slander or false advertising.
Without proper coverage, even a single incident can be financially devastating.
Why Insurance Is Crucial for Contractors
Whether you’re installing wiring in a new build or repairing a leaky pipe in a commercial property, you face significant liability exposures. Accidents happen—even to the most experienced pros. Here’s why insurance matters:
- Client Requirements: Many clients require proof of liability insurance before hiring you.
- License & Compliance: In many states, proper insurance is required to maintain your contractor’s license.
- Credibility: Insurance boosts your professionalism and trustworthiness.
- Peace of Mind: You can focus on the job, knowing you’re protected from potential risks.
What Types of Insurance Should Contractors Have?
While general liability is a cornerstone, a comprehensive insurance plan should include several key policies:
1. General Liability Insurance
As mentioned, this protects against third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, and more.
2. Commercial Auto Insurance
If you use a vehicle for work—whether to transport tools, materials, or employees—commercial auto coverage is a must.
3. Workers’ Compensation
If you have employees, this is typically required by law and covers medical expenses and lost wages if they get injured on the job.
4. Tools and Equipment Coverage
Protects your valuable gear from theft, loss, or damage on the job site or in transit.
5. Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions)
Especially useful if your work involves design or consulting, this covers claims arising from mistakes or negligence in your professional services.
