What is contractor insurance?
Contractors’ insurance is designed to protect you against a variety of potential claims. Whether you take on high or low-risk contract jobs, contractors’ insurance can help to provide protection. It is possible to choose different cover types to suit your needs.
What cover do I need?
The most common contractor insurances held by individuals are –
Professional indemnity insurance – Professional indemnity insurance covers the legal costs and damages you could be required to pay if a customer takes legal action against a mistake your business has made. This may be the result of your company offering them bad advice or delivering poor designs and professional services.
Public liability insurance – Public liability insurance protects your business if customers, suppliers, or members of the public suffer property damage or personal injury as a result of your business’s activities.
Employers’ liability insurance – Employer’s liability coverage is a legal requirement for any business that employs a team of staff. This protects you from any compensation claims related to illnesses and injuries sustained by employees during working hours.
Legal expenses insurance – Legal expenses insurance covers the costs of defending your business in a legal case. As a sole trader or business owner, you could face unexpected legal hurdles, such as employee disputes or tax investigations, at any time, even if you’ve done nothing wrong.
There are plenty of other policies that you may want to consider depending on your business, its industry, the services you provide, and the peace of mind that you want. These include:
Accident insurance – If you run a company, and find yourself – or any covered member of staff – suffering an injury that leaves you no longer able to oversee its day to day affairs and consequently let down your customers.
Business interruption insurance– Protects your company if a covered incident prevents your business from working effectively, impacting your earnings.
Tool and equipment insurance – Financial protection against theft and damage, so if the worst should happen, you won’t find yourself out of pocket paying for replacements.
