General Liability Insurance for Contractors in Texas: What You Need to Know

Contractors may face significant financial risks on job sites, and even a single lawsuit or accident can significantly impact their business. Multiservices By Veronica Moreno offers general liability insurance to help manage unexpected costs that may arise from operations.

What Is General Liability Insurance?

General liability insurance helps your business handle claims resulting from bodily injury, property damage or personal and advertising issues caused by your work that affect other parties (e.g., guests, customers and the general public). For contractors, this coverage is especially important, as projects often involve many potential risks.

What Does This Policy Cover?

A standard general liability policy typically includes coverage for the following:

• Third-party bodily injury: This coverage can help with medical expenses and legal costs if someone is injured on your job site or because of your work.
• Property damage: If your work accidentally damages a client’s property, your policy may help cover the repair or replacement costs.
• Personal and advertising injury: This may include claims of libel, slander or copyright infringement related to your business advertising or communications.

Why Is This Coverage Important for Contractors?

General liability insurance may not always be required by law, but having this insurance in place may also help you:

• Build trust with clients and partners
• Meet contractual requirements
• Reduce the financial impact of potential lawsuits

What Can Affect My Policy’s Rates?

Your premium may vary based on factors such as your:

• Business location
• Past claims activity
• Number of employees
• Operational details (i.e., contracting services you offer)
• Selected coverage limits and options
• Deductibles
