General Liability Overview for Artisan Contractors 

General liability insurance can safeguard your business from financial losses resulting from third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage or personal and advertising injury. It is often a crucial part of a business insurance plan. For artisan contractors, this coverage can be especially important, as your work often involves interacting with clients and working on their property.

What Does a Policy Cover?

A general liability insurance policy typically includes coverage for:

• Medical expenses of a client, vendor or another third-party who is injured due to your work.
• Property damage coverage if you or an employee accidentally damage a client’s property during a project.
• Claims related to libel, slander, or copyright infringement in your advertising materials.
• Your legal defense costs if you are sued over a covered claim.

Why Is This Important for Contractors in Tennessee?

General liability insurance can help contractors address unexpected third-party claims and expenses. In many cases, clients may require proof of insurance before awarding a contract. This policy helps protect your business financially and demonstrates professionalism and reliability to your clients.
