Contractors Errors & Omissions Insurance
Plumbers, electricians, and many other contractors face many potential hazards to their business every day. Customers have high expectations, and even simple complaints can turn into major legal battles.
Many contractors have General Liability insurance policies, but these exclude “your product,” “your work performed” and “impaired property,” as well as the recall of products, work, or impaired property. That’s
where Contractor Errors and Omissions (E&O) Coverage from Hastings can help.
