Does Your Current Insurance Policy Fulfill Your Contractual Obligations?

April 12, 2022

If you are a contractor, then you know that having the right insurance policy in place is essential. Commercial contractor insurance can protect your business from liability and financial damages in the event of an accident or claim. Is your current policy actually fulfilling your contractual obligations? Many policies have exclusions and limitations that can leave you exposed to risk. That’s where the contractor insurance brokers at Hako Risk come in. In today’s blog post we will discuss what your policy might have that can be working against you.

Residential Exclusions

Commercial contractor insurance policies often exclude work on residential projects. If you are working on a residential project, be sure to check your policy to see if you are properly covered.

Endorsements Not Approved by General Contractors

Your insurance policy might have endorsements that are not approved by your general contractor. This can leave you financially responsible for damages and repairs if something goes wrong.

Contractual Limits

Your policy might have limits that do not meet the requirements of your contract. This can leave you exposed to financial damages if you are sued or held liable for an accident.

Business Structure & Asset Protection

The way your business is structured can impact the amount of coverage you need. In the case of not having the correct builder’s insurance, your assets might not be fully protected.
