Accidents happen on every job site, and the right insurance financially protects your business from a single incident that could otherwise become a serious financial setback.<\/p>\n<h2>General Liability: Your Foundation<\/h2>\n<p>General liability insurance may help cover bodily injury and property damage claims that arise from your work. If a client trips over your equipment or a wall you repaired develops a problem after you leave, your general liability policy may respond to those claims. Most clients and general contractors require proof of coverage before you set foot on a job.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Liability Coverage Every Tradesperson Should Consider<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond general liability, other types of liability coverage can round out your protection:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualityinsurancesc.com\/coverage\/commercial-auto\/\">Commercial auto liability insurance<\/a>\u2014<\/b>Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims if your work vehicle causes an accident<\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualityinsurancesc.com\/coverage\/workers-comp\/\">Workers\u2019 compensation coverage<\/a>\u2014<\/b>Required in most states if you have employees, and its employer\u2019s liability portion helps protect you if a worker sues over a workplace injury<\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualityinsurancesc.com\/coverage\/commercial-umbrella\/\">Umbrella or excess liability insurance<\/a>\u2014<\/b>Extends your liability coverage limits when a claim exceeds what your underlying policies pay<\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualityinsurancesc.com\/coverage\/professional-liability\/\">Professional liability (errors &amp; omissions) insurance<\/a>\u2014<\/b>Helps cover claims that your advice, design work or installation caused a client a financial loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Quality Insurance Can Help<\/h2>\n<p>Our team can compare options and find coverage suited to your trade, your crew size and the types of projects you take on.
