Why Do I Need Contractor’s Insurance?
We want you to be ready for your best, that’s why we plan for your worst. You may go years without an incident, only to have all your equipment stolen or destroyed by inclement weather. You might be incident free for even longer. But eventually, you are likely to encounter a problem on the job. You need contractor’s insurance so you don’t have to plan for the what-ifs.
We have seen a spike in construction theft in recent years. There were more than 11,000 burglaries on construction sites in 2021 alone with a possible yearly loss of up to $1 billion. Of those, less than 25% of tools and equipment is ever recovered. Add possible weather events, employee loss, and broken tools to the mix and your chances of losing work skyrocket. In 2021 alone, workers experienced more than 21,000 nonfatal workplace injuries. With U.S. construction spending valued at nearly $2 trillion, it’s important that you do what it takes to stay in business.
Contractor’s insurance gives you the peace of mind to ensure your business and equipment are protected in any event.
