Is insurance for contractors expensive?
Our aim is to make sure you spend only what you need to. Some exposures are easy to spot; however, others take time and attention. For example, how does one quantify the potential loss due to an accidental pollution spill, and how is that information properly related to the coverage provided by the insurance policy? Are you required to have a specialized certificates of insurance, and does your policy adequately provide the necessary coverage to satisfy contractual demands? What are your bonding needs? Are you properly protected from a claim arising from rented equipment? These are just a few of the questions our insurance experts are trained to ask.
