Contracting & Bonding
The Problem
Contractors are faced with many challenges today. The downturn in the economy has limited the number of construction projects, thereby increasing competition and reducing profit. Insurance carriers are getting in and out of the construction industry, causing many contractors to search for new coverage each and every year. Our legal system has created an environment forcing contractors to add to their policies wording that everyone needs (but not every carrier supplies) such as “Primary and Noncontributory”, “Blanket Contractual”, and “Waiver of Subrogation.” Endorsements like these are not only at times difficult to find, but can be expensive to add to your policy.
