Claims general liability is built for
- Advertising injury. A yard sign, website or social post uses a photo you didn't have rights to or makes a claim about a competitor.
- Damage to the client's home. A saw slips through a finished countertop, a dropped beam cracks tile, or dust and debris ruin flooring in the next room.
- Injuries at the job site. A homeowner, a neighbor's child or a delivery driver trips over open flooring, cords or a stack of lumber.
- Subcontractor mistakes. A sub's error floods a bathroom or damages a wall, and the homeowner looks to you as the contractor in charge.
Subcontractors. Collect a certificate of insurance from every sub before they start. A sub's mistake can become your claim, and on many GL policies an audit can add premium for uninsured subs.
