Top 5 Benefits For Getting Construction Liability Insurance

1/18/2018

33 Comments

 
Picture
Working as a contractor involves many risks.  It is a physically demanding job.  Everyday you work with potentially dangerous equipment.  There are certain factors and variables that you can not completely control, and that is all part of the job.  Because of this, it is always a good idea to get extra protection by getting a construction liability insurance policy.  
What are the most common contractor jobs?

The following are some of the most common contractor jobs.

  1. General contractors / Handyman
  2. Carpentry
  3. Painting
  4. Plumbing
  5. Electrician
  6. Construction
  7. Gardening / Landscaping


What are the benefits for getting contractor liability insurance?

Each of the jobs above present different risks.  Not just to you, but also to your client's property which you are working on.  Accidents do happen, no matter how careful we can be.  The following are the top ways contractor insurance can help you.

Protection against injury

The most common thought for getting contractor liability insurance is for protection against injury.  As mentioned earlier, contractor work is very physically demanding and dangerous.  Either you are high up in scaffolding, handling electrical wires, or using heavy equipment, potential for injury is always present.

Protection against property damage

There is always a chance for the property you are working on to be damaged.  You accidentally hit a pipe which causes flooding.  Failure of certain products you installed.  You can even accidentally knock over an expensive artwork on display.  Contractor insurance can help you pay for the damage that can happen.

Asset and employee protection

It will always be reassuring knowing that your employees and the assets they are using are covered for anything that can happen.

Covering legal fees

In cases that the actions do lead to a court case, your insurance can help with legal fees. Court cases can last some time and can also take your time away from your work.  You will at least have some help in the form of coverage for the different legal fees.  This includes attorney fees, witness fees, and other court expenses. 

Covering costs and damages

In cases that you have been found responsible by a court judgement, you can also use your contractor insurance to help pay for the costs and damages demanded of you.

Conclusion

You will never know what can happen in construction. It will always be risky and dangerous, but there is something you can do:  have an extra layer of protection with contractor insurance. At CSIS Insurance Services, Inc, we do our best in making sure that our clients are well-protected with affordable and comprehensive policies.

I appreciate that you say having liability insurance can help to protect against injury because contractor work is often very physically demanding because of handling wires and heavy equipment. Also, the fact that the insurance can help with legal feels would give me peace of mind in case anything happened. If I was a contractor, I would make sure to get this insurance to reduce stress and increase protection against injury.

You make a great point that there's always a chance that the property you are working on could be damaged. For that reason, it must be really important to have insurance so that any unexpected costs can be covered. I imagine that contractors really need to consider seriously having this type of coverage so that everything can run smoothly with their projects.

My dad is planning to build a warehouse for grains for the coming harvest next year. It was explained here that common contractor jobs are carpenters and painters. Furthermore, it's recommended to hire professionals for quality construction services.

Thanks for addressing the usefulness associated with the selection of a suitable construction liability insurance to provide proper protection to the employees. Safety comes first in everything and suitable initiatives should be implemented to safeguard the safety of the workers. Not only in construction but also warehouse workers should also be covered with a suitable insurance cover. Apart from this, a regular safety audit of the warehouse is really essential to identify and replace damaged pallets to prevent the racking system collapse.

That is a good point that insurance is good for protection from injury. It would be nice to have a construction crew that had liability insurance. If I needed construction done, I would want to have a crew that had insurance.

That is nice that having liability insurance gives protection against property damage. That sounds like something that a commercial construction company would want to have. Maybe it would be good for someone to hire a commercial construction service who has liability insurance.

That is nice that liability insurance can be beneficial for protection against injury. Maybe it would be good for a company to get liability insurance just in case there are any injuries that were to happen. Commercial liability insurance is something I would want to have if I worked in construction.

You made a good point when you said that each of those jobs presents different risks which made me think that I'll need a contractors liability insurance for my team. If this will help them become protected against injury, I'll get them this type of insurance. I think the most beneficial part of this insurance is that there will be protection against property damage so I'll consider looking for insurance companies that offer it and sign us all up for a premium.

I liked that you explained that one thing to consider when hiring a contractor is that they have liability insurance. I would agree that ensuring that they will be protected if an injury or accident occurs on site will give you peace of mind in knowing that you won't be responsible. I will be sure to hire a contractor who will be covered, should an accident occur on the job.

I like that you mentioned that there are several jobs a construction contractor can help you with and they have insurance to help with the risks involved. I've really been wanting to build a custom home as I feel like it would be the best housing option for me. Maybe I'll have to look for some good construction contractors in the area.

I didn't know that a gardener/landscaper could also qualify for contractors' insurance. It does make sense because each of those jobs you listed presents different risks. My wife is thinking about starting a gardening company and now we both know that we have to get well informed about insurance to try and avoid any future inconveniences with her employees. I will make sure that we both get well assisted with an insurance group. Thank you!

I agree with you that companies must obtain liability insurance because this may help cover their expenses regarding legal matters. You're also correct that this may protect the contractors form injury. Well, If I were to run my own construction business someday, I'll make sure to gain this type of insurance since it may reduce the possibility of paying extra expenses just in case an accident occurs.

I appreciated it when you shared that having construction liability insurance will help reassure that your employees and the assets they are using are covered in case of any unwanted circumstances. It is always great to be prepared for any incidents that could happen. I would like to think if a company needs to get a claim for its equipment, it should consider hiring a reliable service that can help with the process.

I'm glad that you established in the beginning that accidents happen no matter what. I want to hire a contractor that is prepared for those accidents. Having someone who denies that they can happen will only result in them getting hurt without any plan to recover or pay for it.

Thanks for sharing how construction liability insurance can cover potential injuries caused by heavy equipment. If I am going to rent some then I need to make sure everyone is insured. Otherwise, I could be paying a hefty bill for one of my guy's injuries.

You made a really interesting point when you explained that accidents occur during construction no matter careful you may be. My brother is wanting to start his own construction firm once he graduates from college in a couple of months. It seems like it would be a good idea for him to look into construction insurance once he gets his business going.

How helpful that you talk about how having construction liability insurance helps protect you if you ever need to pay for damages. My husband and I are thinking of starting a small construction business this summer. We will find a reputable used heavy equipment company in our area.

My uncle has been thinking about building a shed behind the home that he might need some help with. Getting a general contractor to help him get it built properly could be really useful. I liked what you said about how they will have the right kind of insurance to cover any legal fees in a court case in order to have the right kind of coverage.

I agree that someone on scaffolding always has the potential to get injured. So having liability insurance is a good idea. That way the scaffolding can be used without less worry about someone getting hurt.

I like that you talked about how you can get protection from property damage when there is contractor insurance in that aspect. In my opinion, investing in a commercial construction company with this coverage will be worth it even if they are more expensive than other companies. I can imagine how the owner would definitely prevent having additional expenses in their projects, especially when they are on a limited budget.
