How important is Insurance for contractors?

In business and for individuals, insurance is a hedge against the worst-case scenarios. From building insurance to vehicle insurance, protecting your assets are crucial because at the blink of an eye, something can go wrong and at the end of the day, you’re going to have to pay for it. Having yourself, as well as your assets insured avoids the added costs associated with the worst-case scenarios. This same logic strongly applies to contractors, who often work with dangerous equipment and have the possibility to injure themselves or damage their client’s property.Contractor insurance protects your construction business in case of lawsuits, on-the-job injuries, damage to your equipment and more. Most of the time, either by law or the company/individual that hired you, requires you to be insured. This foregoes any risk for both the contractor and client, as they are covered in the case of any mishaps. Contractor insurance typically packages all policies into one single insurance, however many contractors buy several business insurance policies to protect against different risks and to make sure they have full coverage throughout. Although insurances are a costly expenditure for contractors, they are necessary when in full operation as anything is possible and the costs of those possibilities can put a contractor out of business much quicker then starting their business.
