What is covered under a contractor and handyman liability insurance policy?
The Contractor and Handyman Liability Insurance Policy by Thimble protects your business when on-the-job incidents end up causing bodily injury or third party property damage.
Bodily Injury
You are working at a client’s property and you leave your toolbelt on the floor while taking your lunch break. During this time, the client walks through your work area and trips over the toolbelt, sustaining an injury.
Third-Party Property Damage
You are installing new cabinets in a client’s home, and while moving materials through the foyer you accidentally knock over and break an expensive antique vase.
Medical Expenses
She also sprained her wrist in the fall. With a general liability policy with Thimble, the cost of her medical treatment will be covered.
Defense Costs
After finishing a debris removal project, a client claims that not all of the shingles from a recent home renovation project were removed. She tripped over a small pile of the scraps, and sues you for the cost of your work.

It only took me ten minutes to read everything, and it took me less time to actually sign up for insurance.
What I loved about Thimble was that the process was super easy. I was already frustrated because I tried so many other companies and got nowhere. The application process was literally less than a minute and before I knew it I was approved and had insurance. I didn't believe it at first.
It was a very user-friendly website for a busy business owner. It was easy to navigate around, I didn’t have to spend five minutes trying to find what I was looking for. It was a couple clicks and I found all the answers I needed.
Purchasing a policy can be very intimidating, but Thimble makes it very easy by being scalable and fitting the needs of your business. So whatever stage your business is at at the time, there’s a policy for that.
The Thimble app is so easy to use. It’s a no brainer to make sure you have insurance for your small business.
