Contractors of all sizes face a wide variety of liability risks. That’s why we offer a Construction General Liability package policy designed for general and trade/artisan contractors. CGL coverage can help make sure that your company can financially handle a legal claim stemming from a mistake or accident that causes bodily injury or property damage. Third-party claims and lawsuits can happen anytime and can devastate a small contracting business that has no coverage or too little coverage.
Legal expenses can add up for any business, especially a small one. Even if your business is found to be not at fault, the defense costs associated with just one third-party legal claim can threaten the company you’ve worked so hard to build. And if you are found liable, any damages to the injured or affected party can be much more than your company can handle. The right type and amount of CGL coverage is a must.
