Handyman Liability Coverages
Insurance might not be the first thing someone thinks about when running a business, but it should be an important consideration.
General Liability Insurance is essential for most companies since it protects the assets of a business in case it is sued for causing a bodily injury or property damage to a third party. Having sufficient income protection insurance is also a worth while consideration, if you were to fall off a step ladder or hurt your back and could not work, accident, sickness and unemployment insurance could help you to pay for some of your monthly bills in the event of you not being able to work.
General Liability Insurance will pay on your behalf for damages which you are liable for up to your policy limits, legal defense in addition to your policy limits, and some supplementary payments, such as investigation expenses. General Liability coverage will pay the insured in case of bodily injury for the cost of care; the loss of services; and restitution for any death that results from the injury.
General Liability coverage also extends to contractual liability, which means that it will protect you if you are involved into some types of contracts, for example, a building lease; some license agreement; an elevator maintenance agreement etc. General Liability normally includes liability protection for your company’s completed products or services, which means that in case your company’s products or services were found at fault and caused some injury or damage to a person, your policy would pay for the damages, any legal expenses up to your policy’s limit and in addition to your policy’s limit, defense costs, regardless of who was at fault.
