Required Coverage for Construction Companies in Bloomfield
In most cases, Construction Liability policies are legally required to obtain a construction permit or a contractor’s license. Even if not legally required, Construction Liability Insurance serves an important purpose: it protects your company from damage and personal injury claims brought by people you do not employ and with whom you are not affiliated.
Two Types of Construction Liability Insurance Are Needed
In spite of the fact that most construction workers are careful and professional, it is essential for construction companies to carry insurance coverage for both bodily injury and property damage. Many factors make construction worksites dangerous for third parties (e.g. visiting architects, engineers, property owners, and passersby) as well as construction workers. These risk factors include the presence of some or all of the following at the job site:
- Heavy equipment and power tools
- Building materials and debris
- Toxic substances
- Uneven and/or rocky terrain
- Deep holes
- Scaffolds and ladders
It is all too possible for accidents to occur even at well-supervised job sites. You will be grateful that you have Construction Liability Insurance if, for example, a visitor suffers a serious personal injury in a slip and fall at the worksite or if his/her car is severely damaged by a piece of heavy machinery.
It only takes a moment of distraction for an accident with severe consequences to occur. Don’t be left vulnerable to a lawsuit that could wipe out your profit margin or bankrupt your business. Contact Blue Lion Insurance Advisors, LLC before you begin the project so we can help you protect your company from awarded damages and court costs. Having the right Construction Liability Insurance can keep you afloat even if something goes terribly wrong.
What Construction Liability Insurance Covers
When you meet with our insurance advisors, they can help you determine which Construction Liability Insurance policy is right for you. Once it is enforced, you will experience the calm that comes of knowing you have insurance to back you up if someone makes a claim against your company for:
- Damaged or destroyed property
- Loss of use while damaged property is being repaired or replaced
- Serious injuries involving medical care, pain and suffering, or even funeral costs
- Improper installation of equipment
- Reputational loss due to your worker’s mistake
As we all know, accidents and the claims that may accompany them are never expected. Nonetheless, by contacting our efficient insurance advisors, you can prepare for them.
What are the caps on Construction Liability Insurance?
There is always a limit to the amount that will be paid on any insurance claim. If there were not, insurance companies could not stay in business. The two kinds of caps are: per occurrence and aggregate. The former limits the amount payable for a single incident; the latter limits the total amount the insurance company will pay for claims during a certain period of time. Contact us to discuss the caps on any policies you may be interested in purchasing.
Why does the cost of Construction Liability Insurance vary?
Many factors impact the price of a Construction Liability Insurance policy, such as:
- Your company’s credit history
- The length of time you have been in the construction business
- The location and size of the project you’re undertaking
- The location and size of your company
- How high the deductibles and caps of the particular policy are
- The risk level of the type of construction being done
