What Insurance do I Need if I’m an Independent
Concrete and Masonry Contractor?
If you work as an independent contractor, you reap the benefits of arranging your own schedule and you can contribute your experience and expertise to numerous different projects. Unfortunately, you also face all those risks that your industry faces -on your lonesome. Unless you work full-time with one company, you probably don’t have insurance from your employer, so you’ll need to acquire your own.
As a baseline, you’ll need general liability insurance. This covers you for any third-party injuries or damages if something occurs as a result of your actions, even if you work at multiple different sites. Equipment and tools insurance offers coverage in the event that something is damaged, lost or stolen while on the job, and builder’s risk protects your bottom line before a project begins.
In the end, it’s best to work with an agent to determine the right coverage for your situation. They’ll walk you through your needs and get you fitted with the right protection.
