Frequently Answered Questions about carpenters insurance in Michigan

Does carpenters insurance cover tools and equipment?

General Liability insurance can protect you in the event that you damage a third party’s tools or equipment while working. For example: While on site, you knock over a ladder and damage the tools that were placed on top of it. The contractor who is the owner of the equipment files a claim against you. In this scenario, General Liability insurance would protect the contractor’s tools. *

General Liability policies don’t cover your tools or equipment. There may be specific policies specifically designed to safeguard them.

What limit of carpenter insurance do I need in Michigan?

The amount of insurance you need depends on the size and cost of the task you take on. When you already have a General Liability Policy, but are now taking on larger projects, it may be worthwhile to increase the amount of coverage you have.

As with any insurance, coverage will be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions contained in the policy wording.
