Common questions about Construction Insurance

Contractor insurance: what is it?
Contractor insurance can be described as a commercial umbrella term covering all sorts of insurance policies, which protect contractors against unforeseeable worksite damages (bodily injury, property damage, liability, etc.). Business risks common for one sector (construction) might be rare for another (hospital), for instance.
Here are the most common policies for contractor insurance:
- General liability.
- Inland Marine.
- Builder’s risk.
- Worker’s Compensation.
Each policy needs to be customized for the sake of offering coverage that businesses require most, the most crucial one being general liability insurance. It will provide coverage for negligence lawsuits because of damages to someone’s property, or injuries that an individual sustains. It also covers legal defense costs.
Why do some insurance companies interchangeably use general liability insurance and contractor insurance?
This isn’t intended to cause confusion. Quite the opposite, it was intended to simplify things. More often than not, construction businesses shopping around for insurance are not knowledgeable about the type of coverage to get. They may lack time to evaluate each policy available to them.
Contractors liability insurance is straight and to the point. It is developed to help construction companies, plain and simple.
Why would someone purchase a contractor policy, as opposed to an individual policy?
Ultimately, you will need to pick a company that can give you enough insurance to cover your company’s needs. You don’t need too much, but you need enough. Rates are relevant to this particular issue. Why does coverage need to be paid if you do not move? Why would anybody pay costly rates if the insurance they need can be obtained at a much better rate?
In short, purchasing policies together will be much cheaper than purchasing them individually.
