The Proper Contractor Insurance Beats Financial Nightmares

Have you ever dreamed your Contractor business was on the brink of collapse because of a multimillion dollar lawsuit? Actually, it's a nightmare scenario any independent contractor could face because of alleged negligence or other liability claims.  

There's no doubt that contractors, especially those in the construction industry, face potentially bigger and more expensive lawsuit costs than most businesses.   Being a contractor in Maryland means that you have to worry about lawsuits do to your work, employees work and work of your subcontractors. Do you have your contracts designed with subcontractors to provide indemnification agreements, hold harmless and require the subcontractor to add you as an additional insured to their policy?  Do you get a certificate of insurance from every subcontractor before every job begins?  These easy changes could save you thousands of dollars if there is damage or a claim.

Over the years we have seen many lawsuits and claims from the construction industry.  We had a claim recently where a contractor was working in a Pasadena, Maryland home to install a new HVAC system in the basement.  The contractor had to leave the job site uncompleted and advised the home owner to stay out of the basement, because the power was turned off and the job was not done.  Later that evening, the eager homeowner went downstairs with a flash light to see how things were progressing.  In his attempt to "check things out" he tripped over the contractors tool box that was left on the floor.  The customer broke his ankle and injured his back, causing him a permanent back injury and several weeks of loss work. The homeowner sued the contractor for his medical bills and pain and suffering.

How many times have you left job sites without things done and advising customer to stay away?   Could this situation happen to you?

But even on a more modest scale, you run many other risks, such as property theft, vandalism and damage, workers compensation claims, and the everyday problems that any firm can experience, like business disruption and vehicle accidents.
