General, professional and employer liabilities are the three major forms of liability protection available today.
Liability insurance provides coverage against damage claims caused by contractors when performing work on your property and injury claims that may arise should someone get injured while performing duty. It also covers court judgments or medical or funeral expenses should someone become seriously ill while on duty.
Contractor's all risk (CAR) coverage provides protection for losses related to fire, flood, windstorm, earthquakes or construction faults occurring during a building project. Contractors hired as project leaders should strongly consider taking out CAR policies.
Draft an explicit scope and contract agreement with clients; this will establish open lines of communication. Secure general/professional liability coverage from The Allen Thomas Group as soon as you start operating a business.
