Contractors’ General Liability Insurance (CGL) provides financial protection for your business by covering claims that arise from property damage or injuries to third parties due to your work activities. It ensures that, in the event of an incident, legal expenses and compensation for damages are taken care of.

Any contractor or business involved in construction, renovation, or related services should consider this coverage to protect against third-party claims. It’s crucial for general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trades like electricians or plumbers.

CGL insurance generally covers third-party property damage, bodily injury, and legal fees that arise from accidents on the job. It can also protect against claims like defamation or advertising injury.

No, injuries to employees are not covered by CGL. For employee injuries, you would need workers’ compensation insurance, which specifically addresses workplace injuries for your staff.

While not always mandated by law, many clients or project managers will require contractors to have CGL insurance as part of the contract. It’s also a good business practice to avoid financial risks from lawsuits.

Yes, if your business is sued for injury or property damage related to your operations, CGL insurance will help cover legal defense fees and settlements. This protection helps minimize the financial impact of unexpected lawsuits.

CGL insurance doesn’t cover intentional acts, professional mistakes, or damage to your own work. You might need additional policies like professional liability or property insurance for more comprehensive protection.

You can lower premiums by maintaining a safe work environment, implementing strong safety procedures, and reviewing your coverage needs regularly. Increasing deductibles or bundling policies may also reduce costs.

To get started, reach out to an insurance agent specializing in business coverage. They will assess your risks, recommend suitable coverage options, and help you customize a policy that fits your needs.
