Essential Insurance Coverages for Contractors<\/h2>\n

Here are the seven different insurance types that are essential for contractors:<\/p>\n

General\u00a0Liability\u00a0Insurance<\/h3>\n

This policy may help cover third-party claims of bodily injury, property\u00a0damage\u00a0or personal injury that may occur on the job. Many clients and project owners\u00a0require\u00a0proof of this coverage before work begins.<\/p>\n

Workers’\u00a0Compensation\u00a0Insurance<\/h3>\n

Oregon\u00a0law requires most employers, including contractors with even one employee, to carry workers’ compensation insurance. This coverage may help pay for medical expenses and\u00a0lost\u00a0wages if an employee is injured on the job.\u00a0Sole proprietors may choose to carry it for added coverage or to meet contract requirements.<\/p>\n

Commercial\u00a0Auto\u00a0Insurance<\/h3>\n

If you use vehicles for business, whether transporting tools, materials or crew, commercial auto insurance is important. It may help cover accidents, property\u00a0damage\u00a0and liability involving business vehicles.<\/p>\n

Builders\u00a0Risk\u00a0Insurance<\/h3>\n

This policy may help cover structures under construction from risks such as fire, theft,\u00a0vandalism\u00a0or weather damage.\u00a0It’s\u00a0especially important for new builds and major renovations.<\/p>\n

Professional\u00a0Liability\u00a0Insurance<\/h3>\n

Also known as errors and omissions (E&O) insurance, this coverage may help cover claims of negligence,\u00a0mistakes\u00a0or failure to deliver services as promised.\u00a0It’s\u00a0valuable for contractors who offer design,\u00a0consulting\u00a0or other services.<\/p>\n

Contractors\u00a0Equipment\u00a0Insurance<\/h3>\n

Tools and equipment are vital to the job. This coverage may help repair or replace items that are stolen,\u00a0damaged\u00a0or lost on the job site.<\/p>\n

Umbrella\u00a0Liability\u00a0Insurance<\/h3>\n

Umbrella policies offer extra liability coverage above the limits of your other policies, helping cover your business from large claims or lawsuits.<\/p>\n
