Claims general liability is built for
- Spills and overspray. Paint lands on a customer's hardwood, furniture, countertops or a car parked in the driveway.
- Ladder and scaffold accidents. A ladder tips into a window or a passerby is hurt by falling equipment.
- Trips over drop cloths and cans. A homeowner or visitor slips on a drop cloth or trips over a paint can.
- Problems after the job. A finish you applied causes damage or injury after you've left; completed-operations coverage responds.
Lead paint. If you work on older homes, lead-safe work practices matter, and lead-related claims are excluded on most GL forms. Ask us about pollution coverage options.
