Claims general liability is built for
- 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.
- Problems after the job is done. A railing, cabinet or fixture you installed fails months later and someone is hurt; completed-operations coverage responds.
- 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.
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.
