Frequently Asked Questions

General Liability FAQs

Direct answers to common questions about contractor requirements, subcontractor exclusions, and aggregate limits in Chandler, OK.

Does my General Liability policy automatically cover 1099 subcontractors?
No. 1099 subcontractors are independent entities. If a subcontractor causes property damage or injury on your job site, their insurance should respond first. Furthermore, insurance carriers require you to collect Certificates of Insurance from all subcontractors proving they carry equal or higher limits. If you fail to collect their COI, your carrier will charge you for their payroll during your annual audit.
What does a "$1 Million / $2 Million" liability limit actually mean?
The first number ($1,000,000 per occurrence) is the maximum payout the insurance carrier will cover for any single claim or incident. The second number ($2,000,000 general aggregate) is the maximum total payout the carrier will cover for all combined claims during a single 12-month policy period.
What is Products & Completed Operations, and why is it essential for builders?
Standard general liability protects you while you are actively on the job site. Products & Completed Operations protects you after the work has been completed and handed over to the client. For example, if a plumbing fitting you installed begins leaking three months later and ruins hardwood floors, completed operations coverage pays for the resulting water damage.
Does General Liability pay to replace my stolen tools or equipment?
No. General Liability exclusively covers damage and injury caused to third parties (customers, property owners, bystanders). To protect your own tools, trailers, generators, and heavy equipment against job-site theft or highway accidents, we add an Inland Marine (Tool & Equipment Floater) endorsement.
Why is a General Contractor or Landlord asking to be an "Additional Insured"?
An Additional Insured endorsement extends your liability coverage to the project owner or general contractor for claims arising out of your work. This ensures that if a third party sues both you and the general contractor for an accident you caused, your policy pays the legal defense costs for both parties, keeping the general contractor shielded.
