General Liability
Protection for the injuries, accidents and damage you cause
General liability insurance covers a wide range of accidents and basic risks. With carpenter liability insurance, you’ll have financial protection if someone other than an employee gets hurt or you are held responsible for damaging property that doesn’t belong to you. General liability might be required for a carpenter license in your state, and it’s common for clients to ask for proof of coverage. General liability includes contractors’ E&O, or professional liability coverage, which can help cover costs in a business disagreement.

Medical payments
Property damage
Legal fees and judgments
Contractors’ E&O
Coverage against business mistakes and claims of negligence
Errors and omissions insurance (also known as professional liability) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money. For example, if you are accused of installing the wrong cabinets in a home, your policy could help cover expenses to fix the problem or defend your business.
