As a contractor, you face many unique needs from your insurance provider. You may do dangerous work. On top of that, there are risks related to the work you do. Innocent mistakes, choosing the wrong materials, or having unintended environmental consequences of your work can cost your business big.

Who Needs Contractors Insurance?
If you’re a contractor, in any capacity, you need the protection that contractors insurance offers. Whether you have a specialized contracting license or are a basic handyman, it is essential that you get the right coverage to meet your needs and protect your interests today and into the future for your business.
At the very least, you need a business appropriate BOP (business owner’s policy). However, most contractors need more than that, including insurance that protects your vehicles, equipment, and the people who work for you. You also need to invest in insurance that protects your good name and the work you do for people in your community.
The right kind of liability insurance policies can make a world of difference for your business as they not only cover damages awarded against you but also help cover the costs of legal fees associated with defending your business against claims filed against you. Sometimes, this includes an umbrella liability policy to help cover more substantial awards or larger expenses.
