Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much insurance coverage do I really need as a contractor?

Coverage depends on your trade, contract requirements, project size, and revenue. Most contractors carry General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, Commercial Auto, and Umbrella coverage, but higher-risk trades (roofing, excavation, structural work) often require higher liability limits and specialized endorsements.

  • Why do project owners require Additional Insured and Waiver of Subrogation?

These endorsements transfer risk and protect the hiring party from claims arising out of your work. Many commercial contracts require specific wording (Primary & Non-Contributory, Completed Operations) before you can start a project.

  • What does Inland Marine insurance cover for contractors?

Inland Marine typically covers mobile tools, equipment, and materials that move from job site to job site — including items stored in vehicles or temporarily at a project location.


  • Why are my insurance premiums increasing even if I haven’t had claims?

Premium increases can be influenced by industry loss trends, labor shortages, nuclear verdicts, material costs, fleet exposures, and overall market conditions — not just your personal claims history.
