Protect Your Business with Contractors Insurance and Bonds

General Liability Coverage

 

General Liability Insurance for Contractors is essential coverage that protects against financial losses from third-party claims, including bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury. It helps contractors avoid out-of-pocket costs for legal fees, medical expenses, or damages if they are found liable for accidents or mishaps on the job.

What Does General Liability Cover?

  1. Bodily Injury
    • Covers medical expenses if a third party (e.g., client, vendor, or passerby) is injured due to your work.
    • Example: A client trips over your tools at a job site and suffers an injury.

  1. Property Damage
    • Pays for repairs or replacements if your work accidentally damages someone’s property.
    • Example: You spill paint on a client’s expensive carpet, requiring professional cleaning or replacement.

  1. Personal & Advertising Injury
    • Protects against claims of defamation (libel/slander) or copyright infringement in advertisements.
    • Example: A competitor sues you for using similar branding in your marketing.

  1. Legal Defense Costs
    • Covers attorney fees, settlements, and court costs if you are sued for a covered claim.
    • Example: A customer files a lawsuit claiming your work caused damage to their home.

What General Liability Does NOT Cover:

  • Employee injuries (covered by workers' compensation).
  • Damage to your own property or equipment (covered by commercial property insurance).
  • Professional errors or mistakes (covered by professional liability insurance).
  • Auto accidents (covered by commercial auto insurance).

Who Needs General Liability Insurance?

✔ General contractors
✔ Painting contractors
✔ Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC contractors
✔ Construction and remodeling businesses
✔ Landscapers and handymen

Why Is It Important?

  • Many clients and landlords require proof of general liability before hiring a contractor.
  • Helps protect against costly lawsuits and unexpected accidents.
  • Provides financial security and credibility for your business.
