About Contractors Insurance

Contractors Insurance (aka “Construction Insurance”) is a type of insurance that helps protect contractors in the case of an accident on the job site. Contractors Insurance usually has three sections, one to cover you (the contractor), one to cover the person or entity that you are contracted to, and one to cover the members of the public if something were to happen.

General Contractor Liability Insurance can be called many different names.  Here are some common types of coverage names you might hear:

• General Contractor Insurance
