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.

Medical Expenses

Your client also sprained her wrist in the fall. A general liability policy arranged by Thimble could help cover the cost of her medical expenses.

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.

We also recommend adding some coverages to make sure you are fully protected while on the job.

Customer Property Protection

Coverage for damage to or loss of customer property or belongings that are in your care, custody or control, or on which you are performing work. Coverage does not apply to poor workmanship performed by you or those working on your behalf.

Business Equipment Protection

Coverage for damages to business equipment you own, rent or borrow and regularly take off-site.

Cyber Insurance

Cyber insurance provides coverage for claims of losses and damages resulting from security and privacy breaches, system failures, cybercrimes (such as ransomware), and the release of media materials by the insured.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Workers’ compensation protects your business in case an employee gets hurt on the job or becomes ill from a work-related event.

How much does general liability insurance cost for contractors?

The cost of your Contractor Insurance Policy depends on a few factors. Things like your zip code, your coverage limit, the size of your team, and the length of your coverage all play a factor in determining the risk that comes with insuring your contracting or construction business.
