California General Liability Insurance and More

  • Many insurers do not allow subcontractors under your liability coverage. If that’s the case, your subcontractors will need their own liability insurance.
  • While claims-made policies (these are triggered when a claim is made rather than when an incident occurs) offer lower up-front and ongoing costs, there are some intricacies involved in this type of coverage. If you do not understand these thoroughly, you may be better off with traditional coverage, which is triggered when an incident occurs.
