When it comes to protecting your contracting business, understanding the nuances of insurance coverage is crucial. One aspect that often gets overlooked is Completed Operations coverage. This coverage is essential for contractors who want to safeguard their business from potential liabilities that arise after a project is completed.
What is Completed Operations Coverage?
Completed Operations coverage is a part of a contractor’s general liability insurance policy. It covers claims of bodily injury or property damage that occur after a contractor has finished a project and left the job site. For instance, if a plumbing contractor completes a job and later a pipe bursts causing damage, Completed Operations coverage would help cover the costs associated with the claim.
Why is it Important?
For contractors, the work doesn’t end when the tools are packed up. The risk of something going wrong after the completion of a project is real and can be financially devastating. Completed Operations coverage provides a safety net, ensuring that your business is protected from unforeseen issues that may arise after the job is done.
Beware of Exclusions
It’s important to note that not all insurance policies automatically include Completed Operations coverage. Some well-known carriers may exclude this coverage, leaving contractors vulnerable to post-completion claims. Always review your policy carefully to ensure that you’re adequately covered. If you’re unsure about your current coverage, it might be time to consult with an insurance professional.
How to Ensure You Have the Right Coverage
