General Liability Insurance for Contractors

When you want to protect your construction business from the threat of lawsuits arising from third-party bodily injury and property damage claims, you need general liability insurance you can count on.

General Liability can provide coverage to a contractor in the event of a third-party lawsuit arising from:

  • Product and Completed Operations
  • Premises Liability
  • Personal and Advertising Injury

General Liability Insurance provides comprehensive protection when an unintended accident or injury occurs. It can provide valuable defense coverage for your business when you need it most.
