Plenty of things can go wrong when you take on a new construction project. Contractors insurance is therefore an important and helpful tool to keep on hand. This type of insurance helps you pay for unexpected costs, such as support for injured employees, compensation for damaged property, and payment for legal fees and settlements. It can also provide liability protection if you make a mistake on the job.

Whether you’re an independent contractor working with a larger firm or the owner of your own construction company, contractors insurance is a necessity.

Reasons To Purchase Contractors Insurance

Contractors insurance helps protect your business from a number of unexpected events that may put a strain on your finances to resolve. With the right coverage, you can retain control of your finances no matter what obstacles you find yourself facing.

Here are some popular reasons to consider a robust contractors insurance policy for your contracting company.

Provides Liability Protection

As a contractor, you can find yourself liable for a number of legal concerns. These can include third-party injuries and property damage sustained while you work on a project, including injury to a customer or their property. Liabilities can also include libel and slander, which may occur through your advertising or through what you say about your customers.

A comprehensive contractors insurance policy will include general liability coverage, which helps pay for legal fees, settlements, and damages in the event of a lawsuit related to these types of injury.

Covers Employee Injuries

Strong contractors insurance also covers injuries that happen to your employees. Construction work can be dangerous, and your employees may find themselves constantly at risk of injuries large and small. Workers compensation insurance will help employees cover their medical expenses and some lost wages if they are injured while working for your company.

This type of insurance is typically required for business owners. Disability insurance, which is not generally required but is highly recommended, can help support employees who need to miss a more significant amount of work.

Insures Assets

Lawsuits can be costly, and the amount of money required to maintain one can impact your assets in significant ways. With a robust contractors insurance policy, you can protect these assets by using your insurance coverage to pay for legal fees and other expenses instead of dipping into your savings or selling parts of your business to afford the lawsuit.

Businesses without proper insurance coverage may find themselves bankrupt or relying on owners’ personal finances to continue operations, putting a serious strain on the company and its leaders that may be difficult to overcome.

Protects Machinery

Your machinery is an essential component of your business, and without it, you’ll be unable to complete your work and generate an income. Equipment breakdown insurance and similar policies help pay for the repair or replacement of important machinery, allowing you to get back to work quickly without drawing on other resources to finance the repairs.

With less time spent out of work, your company can continue to thrive and grow despite the momentary equipment setback.

Helps Attract Contracts

Clients may be hesitant to work with a contractor that does not have adequate insurance. This is because in the event of an accident or injury, the client will have a far weaker guarantee that the contractor will actually help pay for the damage that the company caused. Foregoing insurance can severely limit your potential customer base, making it more difficult to receive work and grow your company.

Consider contractors insurance an investment in your future success and an important element of your marketing strategy, and choose policies that give your customers peace of mind.

Reach Out To A Professional Specialty Insurance Agency

Acquiring a comprehensive contractors insurance package that addresses all of the above needs can help you protect your company and see it grow for many years to come. Work with an established specialty insurance agency to select your specialty insurance policies and ensure that you’re receiving the best coverage for your construction company.

Amazing personalize service. They were able to consolidate all of my insurance needs and save me a lot of money, while also upgrading my coverage and making sure all of my needs were met even in potential unforeseen circumstances. Would highly recommend, and I have not been so pleased with an insurance agency in many many years.

I have been a client (auto, home, and umbrella) for several years. The entire team at the agency is excellent. Francesca is always prompt in getting back to me, and the claims group is great. I also purchased a life insurance policy through them as well.

I'm so pleased with the service at JMG Agency. They shopped and saved me money on my policy even when I didn't request it. I needed insurance in another state where they are not licensed to sell but they went the extra mile and found an agency to rewrite my policy saving me almost 50%. I have complete trust in my agent Francesca and her assistant Crystal. I highly recommend this agency.Bill Schrade
