Illinois Carpenter Insurance Types

If you want to safeguard your money and your workers, it’s a good idea to research different kinds of insurance for carpenters in Illinois.

General Liability insurance

Construction sites can be dangerous and uncertain. Even minor accidents can cause serious issues for your carpentry business.

If you cause injury to anyone or cause damage to their property, it could cause costly costs or claims for compensation. This is why many carpenters purchase General Liability Insurance for their business.

Your General Liability policy can protect you against any claim by an outside party regarding injury or damage to their property. In these instances, your policy will cover your legal expenses as well as your cost to replace or remedy the situation up to the limits of liability.

Workers’ Compensation insurance

Workers’ Compensation insurance protects your company and its employees. If any of your employees get injured at work or are ill, this type of insurance will cover their medical bills. It will also cover some of their lost income if they’re unable to work because of the injury, as well as rehabilitation or physical therapy to transition the employee back into the workplace. Workers’ Compensation policies are required by Illinois’s insurance laws to businesses with one or more employees.

Carpenters insurance in Illinois – Who needs it?

Small business owners, regardless of their type, want to protect the small businesses they own from potential liability claims. The same applies to tradesmen and women.

  • Commercial Carpenters – If you are a carpenter who works as a subcontractor for other companies, or if you have multiple carpenters working in your business, General Liability insurance can protect both your business and your employees from third party claims.
  • Coverage for Contractors – Not just carpenters should be covered! A contractor who is skilled in any trade, such as electrician or handyman, can also obtain General Liability insurance to protect their company.
