Occasionally, accidents will happen in the workplace. However, no specialty contractor wants to find out their insurance policy fails to cover the damage and injuries sustained in a work-related accident. The staff at Choice One Insurance Inc. in Portland, OR, can help create a specialty contractors’ insurance policy that meets your business needs.
What is Specialty Contractors Insurance?
Specialty contractors’ insurance offers a wide range of coverage options for commercial businesses under this umbrella. You will design a policy that fully protects your specialized trade without coverage gaps. Some common specialized trades include plumbing, HVAC, and residential or commercial electrical work. The coverage is tailored for specific risks associated with each specialized trade.
Understanding Your Business Risks
It is hard to fathom the number of projects a specialty contractor oversees each month. Often, the insurance coverage required differs from a standard commercial business insurance policy. You must identify the risks associated with each project before adjusting the coverage on your policy for specialty contractors. Keeping track of the coverage will ensure the specialty contractors’ insurance policy aligns with your business needs.
Add Professional Liability to Your Policy
Professional liability coverage protects against claims of operational errors, unexplained omissions, and professional negligence in the services provided. This addition to your insurance policy will protect your business from a lawsuit filed by a client. The suit will claim that your errors have caused immediate financial stress for them because they failed to complete the project on time. Professional liability covers all legal action, potential settlements, or past judgments.
