What Does a Contractor’s General Liability Policy Cover?

On any job site, you have significant risk exposure as a professional contractor. You are dealing with heavy equipment, sharp tools, ungainly building materials, and construction deadlines. It’s smart and often required to obtain insurance to cover mishaps at the project site.

A contractor’s general liability policy can cover you in the event of loss or damages in the following circumstances:

Customer Injury – This policy applies if your client sustains an injury on site. It includes medical expenses, settlements, judgments, funeral costs, and legal fees as needed.

Customer Property Damage – If your crew member damages your client’s property while working, this policy will cover repairs and replacement of the damaged area.

Defamation – If you’re ever in a legal fight over branding, logos, slander, or libel, this policy can help you pay legal fees and settlements.

Do I Need a Contractor’s General Liability Policy?

On most building projects, the land or property owner will require proof of a contractor’s general liability insurance. The owner organization will likely have a minimum amount of coverage you must obtain to work on the construction site.

And if by some chance, a job does not require this type of policy, you should still have it in place. The risk of working without adequate coverage is significant. One accident can end up costing you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. So the peace of mind a policy gives you is well worth it.
