This type of insurance covers claims of injury or damage that may occur on the job site. It includes protection for medical expenses, legal fees, and property damage. For example, if a client trips and falls on your job site, general liability insurance would cover their medical expenses and any legal fees resulting from a lawsuit. It also covers damage to third-party property, such as if a piece of equipment accidentally damages a neighbor’s fence.
Workers’ compensation insurance covers their medical expenses and lost wages if an employee is injured. It is required by law in New Jersey for businesses with employees. This insurance protects both the employee and the business, as it covers the cost of medical treatment and lost wages for the employee and protects the business from lawsuits.
If you or your employees use vehicles for business purposes, commercial auto insurance is necessary to cover any accidents or damages that may occur. This includes both company-owned vehicles and personal vehicles used for business purposes. Commercial auto insurance typically provides higher coverage limits and includes protection for business-related accidents and damages.
As state law requires a minimum liability limit of $15,000 per person, $30,000 per accident for physical injury, and $5,000 for property damage (i.e., 15/30/5) in all commercial auto plans. Because it pays more than a third party’s PIP coverage, this is known as residual bodily injury and property damage (RBI-PD) in New Jersey.
This specific insurance covers construction that is still being done. Builders’ risk insurance is a vital safeguard in New Jersey that ensures a building is protected from damage caused by lightning, explosions, fire, hail, vandalism, theft, and acts of God (major weather events, etc.)
Beyond the contractor, the builder’s risk insurance covers other parties. Everyone with a financial stake in the construction project should be covered by it. The landlord, the lender, the general contractor, the architects, and the subcontractors are included in this group.
Building expenditures are not included under the Builder’s Risk insurance, nor is property damage. Extensions to your coverage that can protect scaffolding, building forms, and the collection and disposal of debris following a loss are options.
New Jersey inland marine insurance has nothing to do with ocean or sea travel. It helps cover tools, equipment, and materials while they’re being transported over land (such as by truck or rail) or temporarily stored off-site. Common causes of inland marine losses include theft, vehicle accidents, and accidental damage.
For many New Jersey contractors, inland marine coverage is an important part of protecting business property that moves from job to job. Even if a supplier or jobsite has some replacement process, it may be limited. With inland marine insurance, you can better protect your equipment and materials if they’re lost, stolen, or damaged.
The possibilities for litigation settlements are virtually endless. The standard policy limit on most general liability and business auto insurance plans is $1 million. This might sound like a lot of money, but if the matter needs to go to court, the legal costs might soon go above this cap, leaving little for the settlement itself.
This insurance provides additional liability coverage above and beyond your other insurance policies. It is often used to provide additional protection for businesses with high liability risks.
It is important to note that insurance policies have different coverage limits and exclusions. It is important to carefully review the terms and conditions of any insurance policy to ensure that it meets the needs of your business. Working with a knowledgeable insurance agent can help you understand the different coverage options and select the right insurance for your business.
A commercial umbrella insurance policy will extend your coverage for a reasonably priced premium. Commercial Umbrella Insurance Policies cover general liability, commercial auto, worker’s compensation, liquor liability, and cyber liability.
A liability insurance certificate in New Jersey is a formal document that certifies that the company has valid liability insurance that is recognized by the law. Details on the insurance coverages and the policies issued by the insurance provider are typically included in this one-page document. This contains the insurer’s name, its limits, and broker information.
The liability insurance certificate is typically requested from tenants and government licensing bodies. When entering into contracts with other companies as evidence that should something go wrong on your part, they would be adequately paid.
