FAQs
Common Questions from Electrical Contractors Businesses
Does general liability cover a fire caused by my electrical work?
Yes. If a fire is traced back to faulty wiring or improper installation you performed, general liability's completed operations coverage would respond to the property damage and bodily injury claims.
What is completed operations coverage and why do electricians need it?
Completed operations covers claims that arise after a job is finished. Electrical failures often don't show up immediately — completed operations ensures you're covered even if a claim comes in months after project completion.
How much general liability coverage do I need?
Common options range from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, with higher aggregate limits available. Requirements vary by industry and client contracts. A licensed agent can discuss what's appropriate for your business size and risk.
Does general liability cover my employees?
No — employee injuries are covered by workers compensation, not general liability. GL focuses on third-party claims from customers, vendors, and the public.
